Women's Up Hill Climb to Overcome Social Determinants of Reproductive Health

Student Member Price: $10.00

Navigating your reproductive health as a woman can be challenging. For lots of women accessing trustworthy medical providers is challenging, attending appointments is hard, socio-economic factors impact prenatal outcomes and then employment issues can hamper the ability to breastfeed. All of these social determinants of health impact women's reproductive health. This session will address these issues and foster discussion on how the multidisciplinary medical team can work to support women to overcome these obstacles to ensure a safe outcome for mom and baby.
