Hospital Medicine Team Awarded Wisconsin Partnership Program Grant

Centro Hispano of Dane County (Centro), in partnership with Access Community Health Center and UW Division of Hospital Medicine faculty, including Sabrina Butteris, MD, Ryan Coller, MD, MPH, and Sarah Webber, MD, were recently awarded a Community Opportunity grant from the Wisconsin Partnership Program. Their 2-year project in the amount of $49,934, entitled “Community Health Worker Led Postpartum Support Group for Latino Mothers and Infants,” will implement and evaluate a community-based health intervention integrating culturally-tailored peer groups through a community health worker-led postpartum support group program for Latino mothers and infants. The project will assess the extent to which the intervention influences key health indicators such as maternal and infant weight, breastfeeding rates, and maternal depression.
