In this episode of the Healthy Neighborhoods, Healthy Nation Podcast, we welcome Karie E. Stewart, a dedicated midwife and the founder of Melanated Midwives. Join us for a candid conversation about the pressing inequities in maternal health outcomes and the crucial role midwives play in addressing these disparities.
Karie shares her journey and the mission behind Melanated Midwives, an organization committed to supporting BIPOC student midwives through their training programs, with the aim of diversifying the midwifery workforce. Together, we explore the holistic approach at the heart of midwifery care practices. By placing mothers at the center, this approach offers a powerful framework for improving maternal health outcomes and tackling disparities.
Tune in to learn about the transformative potential of midwifery care and the steps we can take towards a more equitable healthcare system for all mothers.
