Our Work
Our current projects focus on neonatal and maternal health education in low- resourced settings in the Dominican Republic. Through partnerships with the Ministry of Health, local hospitals, and nursing schools, we strive to empower providers with practical, simulation based hands-on training. Our hope is that this knowledge will lead to improved health outcomes in the moms and babies for whom our trainees care.
