Always learning to provide the best support possible for women in Mississippi 💙

Janice Scaggs, CNM, and two of our registered nurses with the UMMC Nurse-Midwifery Clinic recently attended the 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, thanks to scholarships from the Mississippi Public Health Institute.

From screening and intervention strategies to compassionate communication techniques, they’re bringing back valuable knowledge to strengthen our care for mothers during one of the most vulnerable and important times in their lives.
