A Great Loss for DONA (and Doulas everywhere)

While I was perusing the web (mostly about doula stuff), I came across the announcement that Dr. John H. Kennell, MD had died in August. Dr. Kennell was one of the doctors who conducted controlled research and successfully showed the effects of continuous labor support. He later went on to co-found DONA International. His contribution to the field of doula work is unprecidented. You can read more about Dr. Kennell on the DONA website.
