Reviews for The Practical Playbook III: Working Together to Improve Maternal Health

What I love about this book is that it is so practical and collaborative. It recognizes that any solution to our maternal health crisis needs to understand its history and include the voices and communities most affected by it. * Jennifer Tang, UNC School of Medicine * In the United States, the truth is we know that maternal health is in a state of emergency. Now more than ever, we need genuine resources, such as this book that can serve as gameplans for reproductive justice. If we fail to read and cite books like this with grace and intention, then we will continue to run the risk of failing the next generation of humanity. * Shameka Poetry Thomas, The Ohio State University College of Medicine * This Playbook delivers a vital message: the maternal health crisis in the United States is one that requires innovative and decisive action, now. Rather than focus on simply identifying and characterizing the issue, the Playbook moves to a place of providing health equity-grounded solutions and guidance from multiple perspectives and experts. This book is much needed at this time and, if used as intended, could help us right the horrific reality that is the current maternal health crisis in America. * Stella Safo, Founder and CEO, Just Equity for Health *
