Mama Glow Named Honoree in Fast Company’s 2025 World Changing Ideas Awards
Annual Awards Recognize Innovative Companies and Projects Addressing the World’s Most Urgent Challenges
Mama Glow is proud to announce that it has been named a honoree of Fast Company’s 2025 World Changing Ideas Awards. This annual recognition honors bold and transformative efforts that tackle the world’s most pressing issues—from fresh sustainability initiatives and cutting-edge AI developments to ambitious pursuits of social equity that are helping mold the world.
We’re honored to share that Mama Glow has been recognized by Fast Company as a World Changing Ideas honoree for our Doula Competency Training Program in collaboration with Aetna®. This groundbreaking program equips Aetna® Nurse Care Managers with the tools to better collaborate with doulas—bridging gaps in care, boosting communication, and driving better outcomes for expecting parents.
Through this collaboration, we’ve accomplished the following:
✔️ Trained over 250 Nurse Care Managers across Medicaid and employer-sponsored insurance
✔️ Created a Shared Decision-Making Toolkit to support families and Aetna care teams
✔️ Advanced culturally responsive care in mainstream health systems
✔️ Launched a new Mama Glow site to host the Shared Decision-Making Toolkit
By working with Aetna to integrate education on doula care into care management settings, we’re working toward a future where more families can receive the support they deserve. We’re proud to be driving this shift in collaborative care. Thank you to Fast Company for recognizing this impactful work!
