People from under-served population groups are still not receiving equal health care treatment, or may not feel they are in a position to question medical authorities.

It now advances health equity on behalf of all racial and ethnic minorities nationwide.

Fetal distress is a broad term that means the baby isn’t getting enough oxygen. It usually develops during labor, but may arise in the third trimester. If a doctor or hospital fails to timely diagnose and treat fetal distress, a baby is at higher risk for brain injuries, and damage that can cause cerebral palsy or mental retardation. Please see details here, and call us if you or your clients have questions.
