ROSE Program Cuts Rates of Postpartum Depression in Half While Saving Money

Expired

Imagine you’re a new mom, sleep-deprived and home alone with your baby. It’s been over a month since you gave birth and you thought you would start to feel better by now: not just physically, but mentally.

Your relationships with your partner, family, and friends have shifted since the baby arrived and you’re not sure who to ask for help. If you needed help, it would be offered, right? The lack of help probably means you should have it covered on your own.

AI and the Future of Health Care

Expired

Can AI lead to the early detection of diseases and improve patient outcomes?

2 Million Reasons to Care About Rural Public Health in Michigan

Expired

Living in a rural community in Michigan offers unique experiences, from exploring densely forested hiking trails to enjoying the vibrant fall colors and miles of freshwater shoreline. These are just a few of the wonderful experiences that make up being a Michigander or a Yooper if you are from the Upper Peninsula (U.P.). However, rural living also presents distinct challenges, particularly in the realm of health care.

MSU Researchers Develop App to Improve Postpartum Health for Rural and At-Risk Mothers

Expired

A new mom in Flint experiences excessive postpartum bleeding, but is told over the phone that she’s probably fine. Later, she is rushed to the emergency room.

Agents of Change: Spartans are Built for the Challenge

Expired

When I think about what it means to be a public health change agent, I envision a ripple effect—a single action creating waves that extend far beyond what the eye can see. That’s the power of public health: small, intentional efforts that lead to meaningful, systemic change. As a proud Spartan and a graduate of the Master of Public Health (MPH) program at Michigan State University, I carry this belief with me in every facet of my work.
