HealthIMPACT Live Presents: Spotlight on Nurse Entrepreneurship - Innovation on the Front Lines - Addressing Systemic Issues Driving Disparities in HealthcareOriginal Publish Date: Oct 26, 2022YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/-v-vsCzhuHgAs a Black registered nurse, Layo George has worked ambitiously to tackle the systemic issue that has single-handedly created a disparity in the healthcare experiences of Black mothers compared to white mothers. She created an app to not only help women thrive in the joy of pregnancy but to drive better maternal outcomes for both the mothers and their babies. Wolomi, which began as a nonprofit organization, is a digital community of women of color that offers clinical support in the form of online courses, virtual group coaching, and one-on-one tutorials for women of color during pre-pregnancy planning, pregnancy, and postpartum. These are all led by a registered nurse. We'll discuss innovation on the front lines of healthcare, hear Layo’s founder's story, and talk about how to develop technology that makes healthcare better for everyone.  Layo George, RN-MHSA CEO, Chief Clinical Officer, & Founder, Wolomi Janae Sharp, Founder, The Sharp Index Subscribe to Digital Health Talks on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.Learn more about HealthIMPACT Live events, virtual forums, and healthcare leader conversations at healthimpactlive.com.Interested in being a guest, sponsoring, or joining the HealthIMPACT community?
