Jennifer Sargent speaks with Dr. Jo'Ann Jackson, Chief Medical Officer at Advantia for the Mid-Atlantic Region, about the frontline challenges facing OB-GYNs today. Dr. Jackson shares candid insights about the primary obstacle in maternal care: time constraints caused by a shrinking pool of qualified providers caring for the same number of patients.

Discover how Advantia is leveraging AI scribing tools and administrative technology to give providers more quality time with patients. Dr. Jackson discusses the critical importance of wraparound services—from doulas and lactation consultants to behavioral health specialists—and how she builds trusted referral networks through patient feedback and word-of-mouth recommendations.

Learn about the evolving relationship between physicians and doulas, regional differences in maternal care access, and why the fourth trimester remains critically underserved. Dr. Jackson also shares her vision for improving maternal healthcare through expanded telehealth, better postpartum coverage, and universal access to pelvic floor therapy.

In this episode of Maternity Reimagined, host Jennifer Sargent sits down with Tina Keshani, co-founder and CEO of Seven Starling, to explore the critical gaps in maternal mental health care. With 1 in 5 women struggling with perinatal mood disorders and 75% never receiving treatment, Tina shares how virtual care is revolutionizing access to specialized therapy, peer support, and medication management.

Discover how Seven Starling partners with over 1,500 OB-GYNs across 500+ clinics to provide seamless, insurance-covered care from fertility through early parenthood. Tina reveals why mental health symptoms often begin during pregnancy—not just postpartum—and how virtual care is particularly transforming outcomes in rural maternal care deserts.
