Despite many advances we have made over the last decades, black women continue to die in childbirth at rates that seem unbelievable in 2021. We have made medical advances that allow us to do things like open fetal surgery, and yet we continue to measure dramatic differences in both maternal morbidity and mortality, as well as infant mortality, based on race. On today's episode, join guest host James Burroughs, VP and Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer as he interviews Dr. Lisa Saul, perinatologist and president of The Mother Baby Center about the stark maternal health disparities that black mothers experience and how we can approach maternal fetal medicine with an equity lens to make sure that all women and all babies have the healthy outcomes they deserve.
