Team Lily is a multidisciplinary care team providing person-centered, trauma-informed, wrap-around services to pregnant and postpartum people. They support pregnant people experiencing significant barriers to accessing clinic-based prenatal care, primarily those experiencing homelessness, substance use disorders, incarceration, intimate partner violence, and/or mental illness. 

The Foundation for Opioid Response Efforts (FORE), which awarded Team Lily one of their grants for programs developing innovative models to support people with substance use disorder, made a video highlighting the impact of their work: 

 “Anyone who is facing barriers getting into a standard four-walled pregnancy clinic, we’re ready to take care of,” says Dominika Seidman, MD, MAS, an obstetrician-gynecologist at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and San Francisco General Hospital. To build trust, Team Lily sends navigators and social workers to meet pregnant patients in shelters, encampments, and homes. They also prioritize meeting patients’ basic needs, including food and shelter. An evaluation, funded by FORE, found that three-quarters of all patients in the program with an SUD received treatment and left the hospital with their babies. At one year of life, 90 percent of Team Lily babies were up-to-date on their well-child visits.
