Coordinating care for babies with a perinatal diagnosis.
Journey of a Lifetime (JOL) is a pro-life, Christian nonprofit that provides biblically grounded, trauma-informed, life-affirming, prenatal through postpartum palliative care coordination for moms and families that have received life-limiting or adverse pregnancy diagnoses. JOL offers emotional, spiritual, educational, and tangible support from diagnosis, through pregnancy, at birth (JOL helps create a personalized birth plan), during a NICU stay, and up to one year postpartum. JOL does not provide any medical services. Instead, JOL serves as a liaison and assists families in navigating the complexities of their medical encounters. JOL works concurrently and coordinates with the existing medical care and treatment they are already receiving; thus, enabling families to receive value-aligned care.
Abortion rates associated with the news of prenatal diagnosis remain high. Studies indicate that 80% of parents who receive a serious prenatal diagnosis end the pregnancy, and documented abortion rates associated with some specific diagnoses may be 90% or higher. However, most parents experiencing a prenatal diagnosis want a better option than abortion. Most will choose to continue the pregnancy, if offered information and support of their choice. Journey of a Lifetime (JOL) is that much needed support!
