According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Black Women are three times more likely to die during pregnancy or in the first year after birth than white women. The question is why? This edition of Another View tries to answer that question with an expert panel that offers information on how to help black mothers have successful pregnancies. Joining Barbara Hamm Lee in the studio was Dr. Lindsey Spero Robbins, Assistant Professor of OB/GYN and Director of the EVMS Center for Maternal and Child Health Equity and Advocacy at Old Dominion University, Teresita Hammond, Registered Nurse and Community Outreach Coordinator at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital Family Maternity Center and Team Lead for the Black Maternal Health Equity Alliance Conference, Benita Evans, Community, Family, and Maternal Health Advocate and Chair of the Consortium for Infant and Child Health Black Maternal Health Equity Action Alliance, and Head of Cardiology at Bon Secours and Co-Host of Another View on Health, Dr. Keith Newby. This, and all editions of Another View can be head on demand on the show's program page.
