Cayaba Care

Dr. Adaeze Enekwechi knows from personal experience that Black people often feel unsupported in their pregnancy journey.

As we prepare for the New Voices Foundation + Release the Pressure Health Innovators Hub for Essence Festival 2024 supported by the American Medical Association (AMA), we are excited to share this article by Essence Communications Inc. https://lnkd.in/edjX4_UV Featured here are some of the grantees from the 2023 New Voices Foundation + "In Full Health" Health Innovators Hub (which was also supported by the AMA) and other #NewVoicesFamily health-oriented businesses showcasing their incredible work to lower the barriers to access to quality care for Black women specifically around heart and maternal health. "Healthcare professionals are essential in addressing the issue of heart health and its impact on maternal mortality rates for Black women in the U.S. It is imperative to highlight a burgeoning class of Black clinicians and Black-owned/operated healthcare services using innovative approaches to reduce barriers to care for Black women. At the forefront of this push are founders and organizations such as Cayaba Care, founded by Mary Fleming, M.D.; Culture Care, co-founded and led by Joy A. Cooper, MD MSc; Navigate Maternity, founded by Ariana McGee; and Health In Her HUE, founded by Ashlee Wisdom, MPH." #blackwomenshealth #healthinnovation #Blackhearthealth #Blackmaternalhealth #WeLoveUs #EssenceFest2024

Health care is becoming increasingly complex due to the effects of polarization and politicization. From policy debates to public discourse, these factors have become integral elements shaping the industry's trajectory. It’s imperative for health care leaders to understand and effectively navigate these complexities to ensure continued success and advancement. We’re delving into this topic in our Frontiers in Courageous Leadership Roundtable.   We’re excited to welcome: Moderator: Nwando Anyaoku, MD, GVP, Chief Health Equity and Clinical Innovation Officer, Providence Discussion Leaders: Adaeze Enekwechi, PhD, CEO, Cayaba Care; Operating Partner, Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe; former head of Health Programs at the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) David Shulkin, MD, 9th Secretary of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs   Where health care is increasingly influenced by political agendas and divided perspectives, it's essential for leaders to adapt and lead with courage.

The The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote about Cayaba Care this week, helping to explain to a broader audience what we are building and the problems we are solving. Please take a look! Excerpt: "Cayaba Care provides what it calls maternity navigators to people with private and Medicaid insurance with Independence Blue Cross companies. The navigators, who are certified as doulas, check in with their clients between OB/GYN visits to provide support that continues after the birth." https://lnkd.in/e4ebGKeT
