are saying about the Respectful, Equitable Care Course.

"The Family to Family Respectful, Equitable Care Certification will help take you and your team to the next level in care for your perinatal and neonatal patients and families. The information is invaluable and insightful as you work through the modules. It gives real life examples and provides the answers on how to examine your own feelings and helps to know how to provide equitable care for all patients that may present in the hospital or outpatient settings."

"I have gained knowledge, insight, and tools to confidently lean in with respectful care in adoptions, ambiguous loss, surrogacy, those with substance use disorder, LGBTQIA+, and transgender birthing patients while being mindful of implicit bias and anti-racism. I recommend obtaining this certification to enhance our professional knowledge and advocacy, and promotion of optimal outcomes for birthing patients, families, and newborns."

 
Dr. Debbie Ketchum
DNP, MAOM, RN, NEA-BC, RNC-MNN, C-EFM, REC-C

"I think we need to take a really up close and personal look at our own biases, acknowledge them and recognize how that impacts our practice. It needs to happen frequently after events in our own lives. This isn't a conversation to happen just to check a box or under a time constraint. These conversations happen over time when surrounded by supportive peers."

 
Heidi Brown
MSN, RN, NE-BC, C-EFM
Labor and Delivery and OBED Nurse Manager

"I believe the most transformative lesson from the Respectful Care training is the realization that respect is not merely an ethical ideal, but a clinical necessity. Evidence shows that when patients feel respected, heard, and empowered, outcomes improve across all dimensions of maternal health. By centering respect in every aspect of care, we will have stronger patient-provider relationships, greater patient satisfaction, and improved adherence to care plans. I view each patient encounter as an opportunity to promote equity, heal mistrust, and restore dignity within a system that has often failed marginalized populations. The training has encouraged me to approach these situations with flexibility, sensitivity, and a deep respect for each person’s emotional journey."

 
Jennifer Hudson, MSN, FNP-C
