From the desk of Executive Director
Pettaway Pursuit Foundation places our members’ and employee’s health and safety above all else. During this Coronavirus (COVID-19) health emergency, we’re doing everything we can to serve our families while also protecting our doulas.
As we continue to navigate these uncertain times, we are reaching out to share important updates on additional steps we are taking to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic. Please find programmatic updates below:
- Effective immediately all doula service will be conducted virtually except in cases that are mutually agreed upon by member and doula, in hospitals and birthing centers that allow doulas as an additional support person, and when members have no other support person at their birth.
- Member errands can only be conducted for families who need essential pharmaceuticals prescribed by their doctors or for families with food insecurities and who cannot get to a supermarket.
- All Pal for Parents classes will continue virtually until further notice. Please check out our most recent calendar for class information. Also, follow Pettaway Pursuit Foundation on social media platforms Facebook and IG.
- If you are a member and would like to request a specific class during this challenging time, please call our Pal for Parents office at 610-553-5481 or email us at info@theppf.org.
Our families are at the heart of our mission, particularly during this unprecedented time, we will be continuing our commitment to them in new and creative ways.
Along with our dedicated partners, we are doing everything possible to keep our families, doulas, and staff healthy and safe and are committed to sharing the most recent clear and up to date information.
