WSMA donates to cause: Reducing Infant Mortality
West Suburban Midwife Associates has given a generous contribution to promote the new film "Reducing Infant Mortality". It can be viewed for free at http://www.reducinginfantmortality.com
The film is about 15 minutes long, and was created to reflect the chorus of voices that are calling for the need for a better maternity care system in the US, as our infant mortality rate is very high among developed nations. The film describes the problems and causes of prematurity (unnecessary intervention in the birth process) and solutions (the midwifery model of care and breastfeeding).
While we are in the midst of the rehaul on the health care system, it is important to pay special attention to one of the highest sources of hospital expense- maternity care.
Please enjoy viewing the video, and contribute if you wish to this worthy cause!
November, 2009 Illinois hospital c-section rates released; West Suburban has the 2nd lowest c-section rate in the Chicago area.
