Transforming Maternal Care through Education, Advocacy, and Change - Episode 54

Welcome back to another insightful episode, and today we're diving deep into the critical issues surrounding black maternal morbidity, mortality, and patient advocacy. Joining us is Lorvena Dorvilus, a passionate nurse who shares her eye-opening experiences and initiatives aimed at empowering our birthing communities. We explore the real challenges faced in the healthcare system, especially by black and brown mothers, and discuss ways to bridge the educational gap to ensure safer, more informed birthing experiences. Tune in for a powerful conversation that sheds light on the vital link between personal finance and maternal health.
