Examining Collaborative Community and the Hierarchy of Medicine #070

Your BIRTH Partners

I am really delighted to be just diving deep into some of the issues around community, collaborative relationships, and navigating the medical hierarchy. I am so excited to share our guests with you this week, Dr. Cody Pyke is trained as both a physician and as an attorney, and has some incredible insights to share with you.
How do we craft our messaging to connect with legislators and folks who really work on systems, policy levels?
Have you been thinking about understanding your strengths and where they fit into this larger community and all of the many things that need to be done?
Are you thinking about how we create equity? As we bring all folks together at the same table to dive into these issues, how do we get rid of this hierarchy that continues to hold us back as we consider what community can really look like and what true collaborative care means?
Listen in as we explore:
~overcoming intimidation around discussing policies & legislation

~translating your message to be understood by outsiders

~collaborative care and the National Perinatal Association

~honoring the equal voices of parents when designing policies

~recognizing the impact of insurance on healthcare

~exploring the ethics and gatekeeping in perinatal advocacy
