Study finds patients cared for by MedStar Health’s Safe Babies Safe Moms program have better outcomes

Women who were cared for by the MedStar Health D.C. Safe Babies Safe Moms program (SBSM) had better outcomes in pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum, according to a study published in NEJM Catalyst . Additionally, the study showed that Black patients cared for by SBSM were also less likely to have low or very low birthweight babies or preterm birth than Black or White patients who received prenatal care elsewhere.
