Kansas City supports doula program for expecting mothers
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Doulas looking to expand their business are receiving a boost.
A doula is a woman, typically without formal obstetric training, who is employed to provide guidance and support to a pregnant woman during labor to improve outcomes, including lower cesarean rates, shorter labors, decreased postpartum depression, and more personalized birthing experiences.
“Doulas play a critical role in supporting healthy pregnancies, safe births, and stronger families,” said Dr. Marvia Jones.
The Kansas City Health Department, in partnership with Community Capital Fund (CCF), a 501c3, is launching the KC Doula Program, a new grant to support doula businesses and organizations.
Applications for funding opened June 16 with a deadline of July 28, 2025.
Funded through the American Rescue Plan Act, the KC Doula Program provides financial assistance of up to $15,000 per awardee to enhance services and expand reach.
Grant funds can cover continuing education, insurance costs, business development, administrative support, and other professional development needs.
Eligible applicants must:
- Be 18 years or older
- Serve families within Kansas City, Missouri city limits
- Be a legally established business or nonprofit in Kansas City, Missouri
- Be an enrolled Medicaid provider or intend to use program funds to gain Medicaid Provider status
- Be a certified doula who has provided services for at least 12 months
Applicants will be notified of award decisions by August 18, 2025.
The first round of grant disbursements is scheduled for August 25, 2025.

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – A vehicle rollover killed a Colorado man in western Kansas Sunday morning.
The Kansas Highway Patrol said the crash happened in Hamilton County, just after 8 a.m.
36-year-old Morgan Stephens of Burlington, Colo. was driving a 2024 Ram truck when it went off the road onto the right shoulder, overcorrected and spun clockwise into the ditch, rolling multiple times. KHP said Stephens was not wearing his seatbelt.
Stephens was taken to the hospital where he died from his injuries. No other vehicles were involved.

Unless you were present at Late Night in the Phog, today’s scrimmage against Louisville will be the first time Kansas basketball fans witness the 2025-2026 team in action.
The Jayhawk faithful have been waiting all year to finally see how the new squad Bill Self constructed in the offseason plays together.
The only returning contributor from the previous campaign is Flory Bidunga, who is expected to be the starting center and one of the best defenders in the conference. However, the remainder of the players on the roster are newcomers or redshirts, meaning there are a lot of names to put faces to.
Of KU’s 10 newcomers on the roster, the performance of these three will be worth watching tonight — and no, we’re not going to go with the obvious option, Darryn Peterson.
3. Melvin Council Jr.
The transfer from St. Bonaventure has been praised all offseason for his defensive intensity and ‘dog’ mentality, but we haven’t seen that translate to the hardwood yet.
Unlike his previous stops, Council will no longer be the primary ball-handler and will have to adjust to a more limited offensive role.

He is not known for his outside shooting, so this will be a good test to see how he fits in off the ball, and more importantly, if his defense was truly worth all the hype.
2. Paul Mbiya
The aforementioned Bidunga is the big man everyone can’t wait to watch as he makes his sophomore leap, but a name flying under the radar is Mbiya.
He is another elite defensive presence, standing at 7-foot and 245 pounds with an otherworldly 7-foot-8 wingspan.
Mbiya played professionally in France last year and still has parts of his offensive game to refine, but he shows as much promise defensively as any player to come through under Coach Self’s tenure.
Whether he taps into that potential remains to be seen, but expect a few thunderous blocks if any Cardinal players try to test him inside tonight.
1. Kohl Rosario
More than any other player this offseason, the coaching staff has sung its praise for Rosario.
The incoming freshman went from being a Class of 2026 4-star recruit to KU’s starting wing on opening night.
He has progressed faster than anyone could have expected, and judging from the noise around him, it wouldn’t be surprising if he were a one-and-done headed to the NBA next year. But before those conversations can begin, scouts need to see him at the collegiate level first.
His strengths are 3-point shooting, athleticism, and defensive toughness, three skills that should make him a fan favorite fairly quickly.
