SUMMARY:Public Health seminar series—Improving pregnancy and postpartum health through patient navigation
UID:628572@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:**This seminar is offered as a HYBRID event: join us IN-PERSON or ONLINE. Please RSVP regardless and indicate your intended mode. The in-person event will be held in Hughes Auditorium of the Lurie Medical Research Building at 303 E. Superior; Chicago. Lunch will be provided for in person attendees on a first-come\, first-served basis.**  Many racial\, ethnic\, and socioeconomic disparities exist in maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States. The postpartum period is a particularly challenging time when the risk of morbidity rises yet care is fragmented\, and inequities exist in the receipt of high-quality postpartum care. This talk will discuss the limitations of the current care system for low-income postpartum people\, the role of social determinants in affecting pregnancy and postpartum health\, and how additional support services – such as from patient navigators – can improve health and health care quality for birthing individuals. This talk will present findings from the Navigating New Motherhood randomized trial and its ancillary implementation studies and present areas for future work to improve obstetric health equity.  This event is presented in partnership with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine's Medical Faculty Council.  Featuring: Lynn M Yee\, MD\, MPH Thomas J. Watkins Memorial Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine\n\nMore Info: https://northwestern.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SKwtyY8SQpGjUA1IPAJgNw#/registration\n\nWebcast Link: https://northwestern.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SKwtyY8SQpGjUA1IPAJgNw#/registration\n\nRegister: https://northwestern.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SKwtyY8SQpGjUA1IPAJgNw#/registration
