Our incredible Clinical Director, Emily McGahey (DM, MSN, CNM, FACNM), was interviewed by the Post-Gazette about the nationwide problem of inordinately high mistreatment rates in maternity care. Check out the article below! "The solution, to Ms. McGahey, lies in collaboration. She said The Midwife Center is lucky that the larger hospital systems within Pittsburgh have been welcoming of their midwives and says they are fully integrated into the hospitals and care teams of mothers. “We’re a good model, but we know we can do better,” she said." https://www.post-gazette.com/news/health/2023/08/24/maternity-care-mistreatment-cdc/stories/202308230105 #TheMidwifeCenter #pregnantinpittsburgh #maternitycare #reproductivejustice
