In California, Black birthing people experience the highest rates of maternal morbidity and mortality of any racial/ethnic group. Implicit bias and racism are key causes of disparities.

My latest:
Black Oklahomans die from pregnancy-related complications at a rate 60% higher than white Oklahomans.
How is the state working to address maternal health disparities among Black Oklahomans?
I started looking at that issue in May.

This is great! The @VCHCA and @MICOP805 translated 2 of the #MyBirthMatters videos into the Mixteco dialect so that even more expectant moms can have informed conversations about C-sections. Please share widely with Mixteco-speaking families!

I love this #TedTalk by @cmjaset! He's a neurosurgeon who suggests that patients always ask their doctor, "Is this really necessary?" Curious to know if asking that question impacts patients' opinions? Tune in to find out!
