MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- One in three deliveries of babies in the United States occur via c-section, making it a significant maternal health safety issue, but also one with racial disparities in birth outcomes.
Dr. Nicole Salvo, an OBGYN at Aurora Sinai Medical Center, joined us on Wednesday, April 19 to discuss how Aurora Health Care and Advocate Health Care have made strides in addressing disparities.
In 2022, the organizations set a goal to narrow the gap between Black and white c-section rates by 10%. They claim to have exceeded expectations, achieving a nearly 28% reduction. This year, they are targeting a further 20% improvement.
