The recording of the Pregnancy Associated Hypertension virtual seminar from March 15, 2023, is now available.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy lead to major morbidities including preterm delivery, maternal pre-eclampsia or eclampsia, stroke and hemorrhage after delivery. Black birthing people in the US are at significantly higher risk of encountering this pregnancy complication. Close attention to education and assessment of early signs of these complications can positively impact care. This seminar will discuss risk, symptoms, possible prevention and current research into disease management with nutrition before and during pregnancy.
Distinguished Panelists include:
Dr. Ann Anderson Berry – Executive Director, Child Health Research Institute, UNMC & Children’s Hospital
Dr. Corrine Hanson – Program Director, Medical Nutrition Education Division, College of Allied Health Professions, UNMC
Lashelle Freeman – Mother
