Fox4 News in Kansas City reported the tragic passing of Krystal Anderson, a former #Chiefs cheerleader, on March 20th following #childbirth. Krystal's story sheds light on the urgent need for collective action to address the alarming increase in #maternal #mortality rates. I recently shared my insights with Fox4 on the importance of providing complimentary CE-Accredited webinar classes for #clinicians. It is crucial for every #hospital to prioritize continuing education for clinicians, ensuring they are equipped with #life-saving #medical equipment and resources for #patients upon admission and discharge. This proactive approach is essential in preventing avoidable tragedies like Krystal's from occurring. Hospitals must have the right equipment in place to avoid catastrophic situations and potential liabilities similar to what the hospital caring for Krystal is currently experiencing. Join me in taking action by visiting Creche Innovations' educational portal to sign up for complimentary, CE-Accredited webinars. Let's work together to make a difference.
