Maternal mortality—a key measure of health care quality—is typically defined as the death of a woman during…January 2020Maternal Morbidity and Mortality

Here at Youth MOVE, we run into the term health equity often when dealing with high-level professionals across several fields. But when it comes to our own Youth MOVE chapter members or youth advocates on the ground, there seems to be a disconnect. Let us tell you once and for all: being a…June 2019Advocacy
