2018 Advocate of the Year

Recently, I was honored by Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies. I am truly honored to have received such an award. While, I wish I could say our work is finished, there are several more things we can do better. This year I have been tracking issues like maternal mortality and more specifically mental health of women during and after pregnancy. Many organizations and medical schools like Healthy Mother, Healthy Babies and Morehouse School of Medicine have been lobbying for telepsychiatry, which is psychiatric screenings via technology such as video conferencing. These issues are at the top of my list.
