Woman’s Hospital has opened Louisiana’s first inpatient mental health unit dedicated to serving the needs of pregnant and postpartum women. “As the largest provider of maternity care for women in Louisiana, it’s our responsibility to address all aspects of perinatal health. By meeting the needs of women experiencing pregnancy or postpartum-related mental health conditions, Woman’s Hospital advances our mission of improving the health of women and infants,” says Rene Ragas, president and CEO of Woman’s. The 10-bed unit allows mothers time with their newborns and allows them to be among others facing similar challenges. ■ womans.org
