Human Resilience: Changing the Way Healthcare is Delivered

Part two of the maternal child health series continues the journey of a powerful story of motherhood, resilience, and the transformative power of person-centered healthcare. This episode highlights the critical importance of postpartum cardiac care in addressing Black maternal health care delivery disparities, ensuring that Black mothers have access to and receive the specialized care they deserve to prevent cardiac complications and promote overall well-being. Our hosts deliver a lively discussion about the care provided for moms who are often representative of challenging environments, revealing key influencers to physical and emotional health and happiness.
