Wellstar MCG Health hosts women’s health panel

Wellstar MCG Health organized a women’s health panel at the Augusta Chamber’s women in business luncheon on March 18. Experts from Augusta University, Wellstar MCG, and other organizations discussed women’s health, focusing on maternity care issues in Georgia. Dr. Chadburn Ray, medical director for labor and delivery at Wellstar MCG Health, said expanding digital health and telehealth services can enhance cardiovascular and cardio-obstetrical care statewide. Last fall, Wellstar was awarded a $5.5 million Healthy Start grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration to improve maternal health throughout Georgia. The event also featured table discussions to promote dialogue on local women’s health initiatives.
