Which Comes First?

September 16, 2021

Two years ago we embarked on a journey to ensure that any birthing person in any of our housing programs would get special support to improve birth outcomes even under stressful circumstances. Building this collaboration was harder than we expected and provides insights into what we can do to work better together. This session will include the perspectives of our perinatal care coordinator, housing case manager, and a program participant. Theme(s): Social Determinants of Health

Abayea Pelt, Director, Maternal and Child Health Program
Jamilah Muhayman, Perinatal Care Coordination Specialist
Sara Cartmill, Senior Director, Housing Programs
Dr. C. Anneta Arno, Director, Office of Health Equity, DC Health
