Description

This week, we are speaking to Katy Kozhimannil an expert in public health policy and its impact on pregnancy and childbirth. She has advocated tirelessly on behalf of birth workers to ensure that their services are available to pregnant women everywhere, especially in underserved communities where we see the highest rates of infant and maternal mortality. Listen as Aleks (a midwife) and Patti (a birth doula) discuss with Katy the importance of her work as a voice and advocate for birthing people and the people who care for them.
