Episode 61: Driving Change in Pregnancy and Postpartum Care

Millions of women in the U.S. live in areas where access to prenatal and postpartum care is limited or unavailable. These gaps in care can increase the risk of pregnancy complications and maternal mortality, especially in rural and underserved communities.

Join us as we discuss how OSF OnCall offers new approaches to closing those gaps, including a mobile clinic designed to bring care directly to expectant and new mothers who may have trouble accessing traditional providers. We explore how the mobile clinic offers scheduled prenatal and postpartum services, connects patients to care teams and helps reduce barriers to access.

Host Shelli Dankoff chats with Kate Johnson, MSN, RN, manager of women’s services for Digital Care at OSF OnCall, about how this innovative program is making it easier for mom and baby to get the care needed during and after pregnancy.
