Racial Disparities in Maternal and Fetal Health with Dr. Shawana Moore

Gerianne DiPiano is joined by Dr. Shawana Moore, a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and FemmePharma Medical Advisory Council Member. They discuss the issue of disparities in care that women of color encounter during pregnancy. Studies show that structural racism is at the core of the lack of care and attention that diverse groups of women encounter for maternal health. Dr. Moore shares her own personal experience as well as professional understanding of implicit bias. How did this come to be and how can we take action to remedy it as a society? Dr. Moore is an Associate Professor at Emory University DNP Program Director of Nursing.
