What: Mother Jones reports from the recent ACOG conference, where OBGYNs who formerly focused on health equity were figuring out how to continue their work under the Trump administration. 

Key Line: “At the meeting in May, Hawes-Van Pelt addressed a roomful of colleagues about health equity challenges. Even with federal funding slashed for research and large-scale health initiatives, she reminded them, they still have the power to fight bias in meaningful ways: by listening to patients, by being honest and respectful, by showing empathy and grace. Unlike research and medical education, she said, ‘this doesn’t require funding. This is change that we can make as individuals in our own practices.’”
