NPHW : Hear Her Initiative

Aloha ‘Ohana!

Today we’re lifting up the Hear Her initiative during National Public Health Week.

Did you know that in 2020, the CDC launched the Hear Her® campaign to raise awareness of warning signs for pregnancy-related complications and encourage better communication between pregnant people and their healthcare providers? The campaign has developed informational posters and handouts in nearly 20 languages and features videos of women sharing their personal pregnancy stories and how they got help. Hear Her® encourages all people to listen to pregnant women when they say something doesn’t feel right, because acting quickly can save a life. More than 80% of pregnancy-related deaths in the United States can be prevented, yet over 700 women still die each

year as a result of pregnancy complications.

If you are pregnant and have and questions or concerns, please call us to speak to our OB-GYN at (808) 293-9231 or visit www.koolauloachc.org.
