“We need to train dedicated women's health specialists—not just reproductive experts.” . Fascinating, smart essay by Dr. Elizabeth Poynor on reimagining women's health care .

This is devastating. Ady was a truly remarkable advocate.

“So Ashley did what girls with no other options do: she did nothing.” . Incredible story that shows that rape exceptions to abortion bans are often largely theoretical—and what that means for women & girls in places like Mississippi.

And I see this new opportunity as a natural continuation of my work writing about ways our health care system can be better. Plus, I still have some cool health pieces in the works. Excited to keep sharing occasional bylines + all the smart work we're creating at Atria!.

Atria is all about democratizing health and science information w/ the goal of shortening the gap between when new research comes out and when it’s used in practice. As a journalist I’ve seen the importance of having access to trusted, scientifically rigorous health information.

Some personal news: I recently started a new job as Senior Manager of Content Operations at Atria, a new health care organization focused on proactive, preventive health. I get to work with the wonderful @siobhannyc (& soon @SCBegley), and I'm so excited.

I recently talked to some of the last high-risk OBGYNs in Idaho, where abortion bans have led to a major exodus of doctors. They're already seeing ripple effects across the health care system—and every doc I spoke with warned it could soon get worse .

A year ago today the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. For the anniversary, I worked with @StrekKasia on this photo essay looking at what's it's like to live without abortion rights and where the fight over abortion goes next.

“What’s burning out health care workers is less the grueling conditions we practice under, ‌and more our dwindling faith in the systems for which we work. What has been identified as occupational burnout is a symptom of a deeper ‌collapse.” .

Late to this, but honored to be included in this insightful piece from @asosin + @heavyredaction as they note the need for journalists to keep covering the toll of the pandemic—and the dangers of dismissing those most affected by it.

As state legislatures have more power over abortion policy post-Roe, candidates (both women & men) are telling personal abortion stories on the campaign trail. “I’ve spoken more about this issue than I ever thought I would in my lifetime,” one told me.
