Dr. Jessica Anderson is on a mission to make childbirth safer and more supportive for every mother. As Professor and Associate Dean of Clinical and Community Affairs at the University of Colorado Anschutz College of Nursing, she's dedicated her career to tackling maternal mortality and improving birth experiences.
Dr. Anderson believes every woman deserves compassionate, evidence-based care during one of life's most vulnerable moments.
