Host Alex McDonald, MD, welcomes Ericka Gibson, MD, obstetrician-gynecologist from The Southeast Permanente Medical Group in Georgia, who shares details of the medical group's innovative Cocoon Pregnancy Care Program. The program is designed to specifically address health disparities in maternal care by providing comprehensive, patient-centered care for pregnant patients, particularly vulnerable populations such as Black pregnant women. Listen to how Permanente physicians and care teams address risk factors, such as hypertension, improve maternal health outcomes, and positively impact the lives of mothers and their babies. Program notes: Referenced in discussion the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (https://www.cmqcc.org/)Thanks for listening!
