The Postpartum Health Pilot Program is designed to address the well-being of mothers after childbirth, a period often overlooked in healthcare. The increase in maternal mortality within the first year is simply unacceptable. Our program seeks to identify and monitor life-threatening preventable causes of death after birth, particularly in women of color, who are disproportionately affected by these issues. By engaging healthcare practitioners to deliver comprehensive in-home care to bridge the gap between inpatient and outpatient postpartum care at the most crucial time.
The PHPP implements safeguards through a community-based service model that provides in-home care to fifty low and middle-income women of color who are uninsured/underinsured, or on Medicaid residing in Bronx, Brooklyn, or Queens which have a disproportionate number of maternal deaths. In-home care will be aligned with all medical standards of care.
This program was inspired by the subpar standard of care experienced by both founders after having Cesarean Sections. As mothers, we are in pursuit of practices that are easy to implement in any society or country in the world in hopes that it will become a universal standard of care for expecting mothers and family planning.
Helix’s Comprehensive Women’s Health program aims to provide quality medical care to Women, with a focus on Women of Black parentage through the integration of conventional medicine, cross-sectional studies, and citizen science.
CWH program will help doctors and their patients better understand the rare correlations between primary and secondary diseases. To this extent, Comprehensive Women’s Health aims to improve disparities in health for women through research and innovation.
As part of our dedication to improving the medical outcomes for women, as part of the CWH program, Helix Strategy Center, Inc., is proud to announce the Inaugural Comprehensive Women’s Health Conference. This conference will drive the importance of knowledge for medical professionals, and patients so that self-advocacy is not the most instrumental tool in accessing care.
The panels will examine racialized assumptions in medicine along with the lack of research on the links between primary and secondary conditions that significantly increases misdiagnosis, late-stage diagnosis, late-stage intervention, and poorer prognosis, as well as cover new developments in bringing quality medical care to the people that need it most.
BENEFITS OF ATTENDING- Dissect comprehensive and occupational exposure to the nuances in treating women on a biological level.
- Evaluate the current systems available that aid medical professionals in the treatment of women and identify gaps in services.
- Assess the gaps in services and knowledge to better educate medical professionals and patients alike to form the necessary alliance necessary to achieve better outcomes.
- Explore the benefits of employing race-based adjustments in day-to-day medical practices to prevent, diagnose and treat potentially chronic conditions more effectively.
At Helix, we believe that research is key to the development of solid, well considered, realistic programs and services that work to meet the needs of the community, with real outcomes that are measurable. Research conducted by Helix will be analyzed to strengthen programs/services, identifying any gaps in services while raising critical questions that will lead to solutions that can be shared across sectors and solve multiple problems at once. Data produced from the research will not only serve to shape programs, services and public policy but also introduce new scholars in their respective fields and enable the development of new paradigms.
Experience tells us that community members are valuable assets in developing solutions to deep-seated issues facing them. Therefore, it makes good public policy sense to ensure that our organization has the infrastructure to provide high-quality programs/services that can respond to individual and community-wide problems in a constructive way.
As part of Helix’s dedication to capacity building and technical assistance, we will facilitate the development and growth of our partnering small community-based and grassroots non-profits while keeping the integrity of their missions intact in order to move forward towards our common goals. We will assist in equipping any partners with the necessary tools to build a solid infrastructure so that they can operate a stable human and social services agency that can deliver services and undertake contracts in a cost-effective manner.
We help build and assist in the following ways:
- Launch ambitious plans;
- Hit key performances indicator targets;
- Support future success;
- Optimize and discover untapped resources;
- Develop good practices for managing their workforce and operations that can adapt to social and financial change;
- Modify programs/services/goals that move with the needs of the community;
- Develop internal and external leadership; and
