The need for maternal health reforms, plus 'Poemspartum'
Here in Connecticut and across the country, a growing number of obstetric units are closing, creating “maternity care deserts.”
Today on Where We Live, we explore the long-term impact of quality medical care on maternal health.
And later, we hear from local author, Kassondra Mangione, about her new book: Poemspartum.
GUESTS:
Katy Golvala, Health Reporter, Connecticut Mirror
Alecia McGregor, Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Politics, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Kassondra Mangione, Author of Poemspartum
