Returning for Season 3!

A case for Medicaid coverage for CHWs to promote maternal health equity.

An introduction to the inequities in reproductive health care access and outcomes experienced by people with disabilities in the United States.

An introduction to the Global Gag Rule and its impact.

After last summer's short sneak peak episode (I couldn't resist putting it out there right away!), I am thrilled that Season 3 is ready to share. We have a new theme: Access, Advocacy, and Outcomes in Women's Health. The first full episode will be out August 15!

Neha presents at the 4th Trimester Project's Clinical Community of Practice. Also accessible on YouTube via UNC's Collaborative for Maternal/Infant Health (CMIH).
