Washington, DC – In May, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) announced that Joy Burkhard, MBA was selected to serve as an expert advisor for their Cross-Sectional Innovation to Improve Rural Postpartum Mental Health Challenge.
The challenge aims to drive both proposal and narrative submissions, allowing the initiative to highlight success stories in rural postpartum mental health and encourage future innovative approaches. Currently, rural women and families face a variety of barriers to accessing mental health care for postpartum mental health problems. These include cost, transportation, childcare, and potential new challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic. AHRQ and Ms. Burkhard look forward to examining the cross-cutting solutions submitted to this challenge that encompass digital health, non-traditional partners, and provide treatment and support for postpartum mental health care.
