Deaconess Illinois aims to expand maternal care in Southern Illinois

Deaconess Illinois president Will Davis intends to address a lack of maternal care in Southern Illinois.

The region is described as rural, with farmland, small towns and small hospitals.

The area has few maternal health and obstetrics services, according to the account.

Obstetrics care covers pregnancy and childbirth.

The lack of these services is presented as a problem for families in the region.

Davis says Deaconess Illinois aims to reverse the gap, but no specific steps or timeline are given.
