3-Part Series: Disparities in Maternal Care

The United States is coming to terms with a painful reality on maternal health where we are the only developed nation where women dying in childbirth is rising. Even more distressing, women of color according to the CDC are 3 to 4 times as likely to experience this than white women irrespective of income or education levels.

In a recent Medical Alley webinar, Reducing Disparities in Maternal Care Outcomes through Partnerships and Innovation, Marani’s Founder & CEO, Ann Holder joined a virtual fireside chat and panel with Stacey Steward, CEO of March of Dimes; Tim Spilker, Community and State CEO of UnitedHealthcare; Veronica Adamson, Head of Obstetrics Solutions of Philips Healthcare; Dr. Shirley Sylvester, Women’s Health Senior Medical Director of Johnson & Johnson; Dr. Lisa Saul, President of Mother Baby Clinical Service Line of Allina Health; Jodi Hubler, Board of Director of Bind Benefits; Alexis Kochanski, Director of Member Engagement of Medical Alley Assocation. They explored the important issue around disparities in maternal care and how innovation, technology and partnerships are seeking to address.
