Join me Saturday, November 19 at 7:00 a.m. for The Local Take On Jazz 91.9 WCLK as I talk with Elise Blasingame, executive director of Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Georgia. This non-partisan network of grassroots advocates, healthcare professionals and concerned citizens has a focus on Georgia's healthcare needs for mothers and babies.

Blasingame shares with our listeners that they can call 1-800-300-9003 to learn about a variety of resources for mothers before and after they give birth. This statewide resource assist with everything from pre-natal vitamins to diapers. Additionally lactation specialist and doula will actually visit the homes of new mothers.  A doula is a "birth companion" for before and after birth.
