Our Mission
At Maite Health, we support new mothers via virtual home visits focused on their comprehensive wellbeing. Our goal is to raise the standard of maternal healthcare.
Our approach
We offer proactive, preventive services to:

- Assess for medical & mental health risk
- Refer to services for comprehensive care
Our team
Our compassionate healthcare team makes sure postpartum patients have the attention and care they deserve during a period when they are often overlooked.
Maite (my-tay)
Maite is Basque for beloved, and happens to contain the word mai, or mother in many Indian languages.
This captures perfectly what we want for our Maite mothers:
To feel beloved, cared for, and flourishing in motherhood.
For Mothers
Postpartum care is scarce in the United States. Without the proper guidance, it’s hard to know what you need and how to find it - so our team does this for you. Our evidence based protocol is proactively delivered to you at clinically validated timepoints to assess risks and needs. We connect you to the care you need, when you need it - so you can take care of yourself, your baby, and the rest of your life!
For Employers
Return to work, absenteeism / presenteism, and medical costs are common concerns for employers of new parents. These are tough problems to tackle without the right data and the right services. Our evidence based system ensures optimal outcomes in these areas to reduce costs, and to ensure your employees and their families are healthy and cared for during an exciting - but challenging - period of their lives.
