Rural Health & Maternity Care: Maternal Care Deserts & the Impact of Policy

Welcome back to Rural Health Today!  This episode is the third installment of our series, Rural Health & Maternity Care, and we’re talking with Carrie Cochran-McClain, Chief Policy Officer at the National Rural Health Association. Between birthing center closures and harmful legislation, maternal healthcare seems to be deteriorating in rural America. Carrie is here to share her perspective and insight as an expert in the impact of policy on rural health. We’ll talk about maternal healthcare deserts, rural vulnerabilities, and of course, what it all has to do with rural health.
