Today BMC's new and improved Curbside Care van took a tour around campus so the BMC community could learn more about our innovative care model. Now in its third year, Curbside Care brings postpartum and newborn care directly to the doorstep of families in Boston. NBC News Boston joined the tour and spoke with Rosha Forman, Director of Midwifery Services at BMC, about what drives her work with this program. "This is the kind of care I've always wanted to provide, and I think the rest of the team would say the same thing. This is why we became healthcare workers... to provide wraparound, comprehensive care." BMC's Curbside Care is an innovative mobile health unit that travels to homes and supports both birthing parents and babies during the first 4 to 6 weeks after delivery, which is one of the most critical periods in health and development. Generously supported by the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation, with funding from Tufts Health Plan, Curbside Care provides newborn check-ups and postpartum recovery care, and additional vital services such as lactation support, mental health screening, and family planning support.
