Engaged Scholar: Patricia Gabbe
|
|
In 2010, motivated by her participation in a statewide leadership group studying why Ohio and Columbus had one of the highest infant mortality rates, Dr. Pat Gabbe, clinical professor in the College of Medicine, founded Moms2B.
This innovative community-based pregnancy program for low-income women was designed to learn from the women and to improve the health status of at-risk communities, empower pregnant women to deliver full-term healthy babies, reduce infant mortality, and eliminate racial and economic disparities in infant mortality between non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic Black babies.
