Bridging the Gaps in Rural Maternal Health, Part 2 of 2
Rural obstetric care stands at the intersection of some of the most pressing issues in modern health care. In Part 2 of this two-episode podcast Kelly continues her conversation with Jennifer McKenna, MD and Jeanette Andrews, MD, two MaineHealth OB/GYN physicians and advocates. They explore the strategies, emerging technologies, and policies that may help to bridge or close the gaps impacting the delivery of rural obstetric care. They advocate for taking a collaborative approach to address the effects of isolation, generational poverty, and substance use disorder.
