The Future of Postpartum Care Starts Here
The postpartum period is one of the most critical—and often underserved—phases of maternal healthcare.
As clinical recommendations continue to emphasize ongoing, individualized postpartum care, health systems and OB practices have an opportunity to rethink how they engage patients after delivery. Moving beyond a single postpartum visit requires new models of care that support mothers through continuous engagement, proactive screening, and coordinated clinical support.

Drawing on her clinical expertise in maternal health, Dr. Walsh will discuss how virtual care and coordinated clinical workflows can help practices improve outcomes while extending the reach of the OB care team.
