"Intervention Helps Underserved Women Access Needed Postpartum Care" - Elizabeth A. Howell, MD, MPP
Pregnancy and childbirth can exacerbate many health risks such as diabetes, hypertension and depression, especially among underserved women or those who have a hard time getting health care. Elizabeth A. Howell, MD, MPP, a professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and her colleagues have introduced an evidence-based intervention to prioritize getting Medicaid-insured women in for a port-partum visit. The intervention aims to reduce barriers in multiple ways by educating women about the importance of postpartum care.
