Frontline Innovation: Expanding Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health Across Diverse Care Settings
This 90-minute conversation launches Champions for Change, Essential Access Health’s new national learning series highlighting innovators transforming healthcare delivery and advancing equity.
Dr. Jerry Abraham and Dr. Alec Ludwig will share lessons from their work expanding access to sexual and reproductive health care, including abortion, in two very different care settings: a rural hospital and a street medicine program in South LA. Their experiences demonstrate how community-driven innovation providing clinical services can bridge disparities and strengthen patient trust.
This session will offer practical strategies for options counseling and delivering comprehensive SRH care for vulnerable populations.
Session Objectives:
1. Identify key barriers to sexual and reproductive healthcare access in underserved communities.
2. Explore how community-centered models expand access to sexual and reproductive health in diverse settings.
3. Implement culturally responsive care models to improve patient trust and engagement, to reduce health disparities and strengthen trust between patients and providers.
4. Identify actionable strategies and key lessons to strengthen sexual and reproductive health access within participants’ own organizations and communities.
