Fighting maternal and infant health inequities 

In this week’s episode of “Podnosis,” Fierce Healthcare’s Anastassia Gliadkovskaya explores the topic of inequities in maternal and infant health and what one nonprofit is doing to increase transparency and accountability.

She chats with Kimberly Seals Allers, a journalist by background who is passionate about narrative storytelling. Seals Allers runs Birthright, a podcast highlighting positive Black birthing experiences, and is the founder of Irth, an app that collects and shares reviews of hospitals and doctors by Black and brown birthing people. Armed with those insights, Irth works with providers to identify areas for improvement and to close gaps in health equity. Today, the nonprofit collaborates with health departments, hospitals, and other organizations in nearly a dozen states.
