    Hospital Booby Traps: Navigating Maternal Health Care

    The maternal health system is failing too many women. Ashley Green and Veronica Simpkins share how to navigate the "booby traps" and demand equitable care. In this episode of Women Connected in Wisdom, Christine is joined by Veronica Simpkins and Ashley Green - Registered Nurses, IBCLCs, and co-founders of Latched Support. After surviving their own life-threatening pregnancy complications, they built a $1.3M nonprofit dedicated to improving maternal and infant health through culturally responsive, community-based care.
