This episode is about finding the best labor and delivery hospitals using community-based tools and reviews. Listen to learn more about how community reviews tools are helping women find better facilities. Think “Yelp for hospitals”.
Kimberly Seals Allers is our featured guest. She is the creator of Irth, a non-profit app designed to collect and leverage reviews of birthing hospitals and pediatricians from Black and Brown communities to hold these institutions accountable and facilitate systems change for bias-free experiences.
The app facilitates transparency and community empowerment by allowing users to share their experiences, which are turned into actionable data for improving care. With ongoing community engagement, including a paid ambassador program for birth workers, Irth serves as an education tool, a platform for raising care expectations, and an advocate for more birthing options and empowerment in motherhood.
