Maternity care is increasingly out of reach for women across the U.S.—contributing to the crisis of maternal health facing our nation. This is discouraging and unacceptable; we must do more to support mothers and newborns. statnews.com/2022/10/11/mat…

Excited to share my first publication in @AcadMedJournal🥳Using virtual reality to create a simulated learning environment for interprofessional teaching about social determinants #SDOH. Key learnings from our study ....

@Support_ROSE love this. Those who‘be spent time in the NICU know how hard it is to breastfeed & provide breastmilk, on top of the rest of life, birth recovery, older kids. I’ve experienced it as a parent & breastfeeding doc. Having support and help from families who have been there is huge!

ROSE is currently looking for families who have a baby in the NICU, who are also interested in having additional support from one of our NICU Breastfriends. Register by scanning the QR code. #ROSEHEAL #ReachingRnR #BLKBFing

Great first day in Baltimore with the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine and Reaching Our Sistere Everywhere in a PCORI workshop to identify the research gaps in human milk feeding clinical care and equity. What an amazing group and hugely important work!

So thrilled to highlight in the Boston Globe the work of my colleagues at Boston Medical Center and Brigham and Women’s Hospital to help address long standing racial inequities in breastfeeding. bostonglobe.com/2022/09/12/opi…
