Our Team
Our team is dedicated to providing women and their families with the support they need throughout their maternal health journey. Jacqueline McLeeland started PUSH after her own experiences with two high-risk pregnancies and navigating the workplace as a new mother. While adjusting to motherhood, she quickly discovered the absence of a family-friendly work environment within many businesses and organizations. Jacqueline envisioned building an organization where women and new parents would have a different experience while working to achieve the best outcomes for women and moms-to-be during the pre-conception, prenatal, delivery and postpartum phases.
