Why Yuzi Care is Redefining Postpartum Support

When Today’s Parent published this feature on postnatal hotels, it shined a spotlight on how families around the world are rethinking postpartum recovery. From Taiwan’s yuezi traditions to Europe’s kraamzorg system, new parents are seeking wraparound care that goes far beyond a single hospital stay.

Yuzi Care was honored to be included in this conversation. But while many headlines focus on “postnatal hotels,” our mission has always been bigger than a place.

Why Postnatal Care Matters

The weeks after childbirth are one of the most vulnerable and overlooked times in a family’s life. Research shows:

• Nearly 1 in 4 new mothers experience postpartum depression or anxiety.
• Families often face sleep deprivation, feeding challenges, and recovery complications with little structured support.
• Other countries invest in 40–60 days of care — but in the U.S., many families leave the hospital within 48 hours, without a plan.

Yuzi Care’s Approach

At Yuzi, we believe postpartum care shouldn’t be a luxury — it should be infrastructure. That’s why we’re building a tech-enabled platform that connects families to trusted providers including doulas, lactation consultants, newborn care specialists, and nurses.

Instead of centering care in a hotel, Yuzi Care makes support accessible in-home, through employers, and via health plans like Medicaid and TRICARE. With our managed marketplace, families can:

• Build a personalized care plan
• Book and manage visits with vetted professionals
• Use insurance, HSA/FSA, or employer benefits for reimbursement
• Access evidence-based resources and AI-powered guidance

Beyond a Trend — Building a Movement

The popularity of postnatal hotels points to a truth families already know: mothers need more care, not less. Yuzi Care is here to make that possible at scale, so no parent has to recover alone.

As our founder and CEO Stephiney Foley puts it:

“We’re not just creating another service — we’re building the missing layer of maternal care infrastructure in America.”
