Empowering Futures: Improving Reproductive and Neonatal Health
A collaborative of scholars working to identify interventions to improve health outcomes in maternal, reproductive, and neonatal health – starting with analysis and interventions at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital and then scaling to local and international communities.
We are hoping to build a learning community that can share insights and ideas while identifying projects in maternal, reproductive, and neonatal health to drive better health outcomes for parents and children – ideally this will include gathering data and testing initiatives at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, publishing our findings, and sharing outside of the Stanford community. Everyone is welcome to join and pitch new outcomes or interventions to investigate!
Some current projects we are working on include (1) increasing lactation service access for families that have a primary language other than English and (2) improving patient flow and staffing for the NICU and intermediate care nursery. We are ideating about others, including: (3) identifying the impact of early/delayed inductions on maternal and infant outcomes and (4) capturing the potential impact of reduced mifepristone access.
Knight-Hennessy scholars represent a vast array of cultures, perspectives, and experiences. While we as an organization are committed to elevating their voices, the views expressed are those of the scholars, and not necessarily those of KHS.
