Show Notes
North Carolinas rural areas face a maternity care crisis, with long drives for deliveries leading to higher complication rates. Despite a slight increase in obstetric physicians, theyre concentrated in cities, leaving 28 counties without local providers. A new law allows experienced midwives to practice independently, but they too cluster in urban areas. Experts emphasize the need for facilities to hire and support these providers to improve outcomes and address provider migration to urban areas.
