At @UnivHospNewark today for a listening session on maternal health. Glad to have the opportunity to visit with hospital leadership and staff this morning to learn more about some of their work in this space.
@UnivHospNewark .@UnivHospNewark saw a gap and standardized it's neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) protocol - and put it out for all to see! Great work to help address an issue that is a priority for @FLOTUS & @HHSGov! #ThursdayThoughts
@UnivHospNewark @FLOTUS @HHSGov #DYK: 60% of all maternal deaths in the U.S. are preventable.

@UnivHospNewark @FLOTUS @HHSGov @CDCgov Lots of great feedback during today's dialogue. I was humbled by the responses to my question about what gives the panelists hope - courageous people sharing their stories, strong partnerships, highlighting disparities & knowing people are listening.
Thanks to everyone at @MCHNJ - especially all the moms and children in attendance - for welcoming me! I especially loved being a part of your lunch and learn session!
Special thanks to @FirstLadyNJ and Jennifer for joining me at today’s listening session on #MaternalHealth. Your insights were critical. And I know we all appreciated you sharing your story with us, Jennifer.
