Join us for a virtual seminar on Wednesday, March 15 at noon to learn about pregnancy associated hypertension.

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. Teresa Berg – Medical Director of Nebraska Medicine Labor and Delivery and a Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist

Dr. Corrine Hanson – Program Director, Medical Nutrition Education Division, College of Allied Health Professions, UNMC

Lashelle Freeman – Mother

*Continuing education credits are available for full attendance at this seminar. Certificates will be sent via email once attendance for the entirety of the hour long seminar is verified .
