Listen Now to Our Latest Podcast Episode: Closing Care Gaps for Pregnant Patients
Despite medical advances, the United States continues to have the highest rate of maternal deaths of any high-income nation. Additionally, many of our nation’s pregnant individuals and their infants, especially those from low-income and underrepresented groups, do not have access to quality health care during the perinatal period.
With an interprofessional team, Andrea Kuster, associate clinical professor (pictured), and Tasha Toliver, manager of UCSF Health’s Office of Population Health Outreach Team, are working to change that.
In this episode, Kuster and Toliver share about their program that provides comprehensive and individualized health care services to publicly insured pregnant patients in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The guest host for this episode is Yari Suarez, a student in the school’s Family Nurse Practitioner specialty.

🔊 #NewEpisode "Bridging Physical and Mental Health," the latest episode of Illuminating Health, the UCSF School of Nursing's official podcast
During the perinatal period, 1 in 5 women in the United States experience a mental health issue such as postpartum depression or anxiety. But accessing mental health support can be difficult, particularly as a new parent.

In this episode, Birch is joined by colleague Jane Abanes, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who also provides care at the clinic, to discuss how this innovative program is enhancing access to psychiatric care and improving patient’s mental health and well-being.
The guest host for this episode is Kira Prokopakis, a student in the school’s Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specialty.
