Here in Connecticut and across the country, a growing number of obstetric units are closing, creating “maternity care deserts.”

Today on Where We Live, we explore the long-term impact of quality medical care on maternal health.

And later, we hear from local author, Kassondra Mangione, about her new book: Poemspartum.

GUESTS:

• Katy Golvala, Health Reporter, Connecticut Mirror
• Alecia McGregor, Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Politics, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
• Kassondra Mangione, Author of Poemspartum
