Mapping the Distances From Prisons to Hospitals Providing Obstetric and Neonatal Intensive Care

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess the driving distances from U.S. prisons housing women to hospitals that provide obstetric care and advanced neonatal intensive care. Their analysis revealed that while most prisons are relatively close to obstetric hospitals, significant disparities exist, particularly in certain states and regions, which could hinder timely access to essential perinatal care and exacerbate maternal and neonatal health inequities.
