26 Apr 2021 | Medical Alley Webinar Replay: "Reducing Disparities in Maternal Care Outcomes through Partnerships and Innovation" | 00:33:23 | |
The United States is in the midst of confronting an uncomfortable and unacceptable reality: we are the only industrialized nation that has a rising maternal mortality rate. Even more alarming, however, is that women of color are up to three or four times as likely to die from a pregnancy related complication as white women – a gap that persists across education and income levels. Successfully addressing these disparities will require insight, expertise, and innovation from the entire healthcare community. Establishing successful partnerships, improving access, leveraging technology, and connecting with the community are a few of the key pieces to making real improvements in maternal outcomes for all women – but especially women of color. Medical Alley organizations are leading in this effort and are committed to accomplishing this goal. In the first part of this Bringing the Future Forward webinar replay, take a listen as Stacey Stewart from March of Dimes and Tim Spilker from UnitedHealthcare join moderator Jodi Hubler for a fireside chat to discuss the important issue of maternal care and how Medical Alley organizations are working to reduce disparities in maternal outcomes.
