"Global health experts agree that how people are treated during childbirth can affect the health and well-being of mother, child, and family"... Vedam et al 2019
The attitudes and behaviors of health care professionals are rooted in cultural norms and biases. Recognizing these behaviors and addressing structural racism in our health care system are strategies needed to improve short and long-term outcomes for patients cared for in reproductive, maternity, and neonatal settings.
AWHONN is committed to combatting disparities in maternal care by providing maternity and NICU nurses with the essential resources they need to care for all moms and babies. Join Rose Horton and AWHONN during this free event for a heart-to-heart conversation aimed at eradicating implicit bias with every patient, during every interaction, every time.
Commercial support for this webinar is provided by Johnson’s®.
