Recognizing these challenges, @Bayhealth has introduced the postpartum bracelet to ensure that any postpartum complications are immediately identified and addressed without delay.

“People hear healthcare is a $4 trillion business and accounts for 18% of the gross domestic product, and assume the money primarily goes to the hospitals as the service provider. But that's not the case. Much of the money in healthcare has gone to large pharmaceutical companies, insurers and other nonproviders.” https://buff.ly/3AnbyrO

Have you or a family member ever experienced a health concern in the middle of the night or after hours where you needed immediate care and your local hospital's emergency department was there for you? You're not alone. According to a new report, nearly half of all hospital emergency department visits occur after-hours (between 5pm and 8am) when patients have limited options for care, especially during an emergency when they simply cannot wait until the next day or available appointment. According to the analysis, children, in particular, are more likely to receive care at an ED outside of regular business hours.
New Analysis: Nearly Half of Emergency Department Visits Occur After Hours When 24/7 Access to Care is Critical for Saving Lives
