The referral that never happens
Health centers see a disproportionately high-risk pregnancy population. With that risk comes hypertension, diabetes, and behavioral health needs that outgrow a generalist visit.
The standard answer is a referral to the MFM office an hour away. For a patient juggling an hourly job, bus fare, and child care, that appointment may as well not exist. Clinic leaders tell us more than half of these referrals are never completed.

Built for how health centers are funded
Your model is outpatient, encounter-based, and reported to your funders every year. Ouma fits inside it. We are a medical practice, not a platform license: no capital purchase, no hardware cart, no per-seat software fee.
Adding specialty maternity services also strengthens the story you take back to your funders. Health centers use added services to support scope and rate conversations, and MFM-level care is a service line very few centers can offer today.
Your patients stay yours
Co-management, not carve-out: your clinicians keep the relationship, we add the subspecialty layer.
Documentation lands in your native EHR workflow.
Culturally competent, trauma-informed care in the patient's own language.
Deliveries stay with your local hospital relationships; we coordinate, we do not redirect.
As clinicians ourselves, we protect the relationship between you and your patient.
Proven in health centers like yours
after on-site teleMFM
A large urban health center engaged Ouma after finding that most MFM referrals were never completed. With telehealth MFM on site, referral no-shows fell to under 10 percent.
Restoring local maternity care
Valley Healthcare partnered with Ouma to restore local maternity care through telemidwifery and teleMFM, keeping expectant families in their own community for prenatal care.
