TOGETHER.

00:01:32.225 --> 00:01:35.695
AND SO TRADITIONALLY, METHODIST

00:02:02.055 --> 00:02:02.188
PLACE.

00:02:02.255 --> 00:02:03.223

ASSOCIATE RILEY WITH BABIES AND

00:02:06.192 --> 00:02:06.392
CHILDREN.

00:02:06.459 --> 00:02:07.694
THEY DON'T ALSO THINK ABOUT

00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:08.161
ADULT PATIENTS.

00:02:08.228 --> 00:02:09.729
CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW THIS TOWER

00:02:09.796 --> 00:02:13.666

STARTS DURING THE PREGNANCY.

00:02:20.874 --> 00:02:23.710
AND OUR ABILITY TO IMPACT THE

00:02:23.776 --> 00:02:24.811
PREGNANCY POSITIVELY EARLY ON IS

00:02:24.878 --> 00:02:26.579
REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE CHILD'S

00:02:26.646 --> 00:02:26.846
HEALTH.

00:02:26.913 --> 00:02:28.948

00:03:13.493 --> 00:03:15.228
>> ANOTHER BIG FOCUS FOR THIS

00:03:15.295 --> 00:03:18.264
PROJECT IS INDIANA'S HIGH INFANT

00:03:18.331 --> 00:03:19.198
MORTALITY RATE.

00:03:19.265 --> 00:03:21.267
EXPLAIN HOW RILEY IS HOPING THIS

NEW TOWER CAN REALLY HELP IMPACT

THAT, MAYBE MOVE THE NEEDLE ON

00:03:26.372 --> 00:03:28.408
INDIANA'S INFANT MORTALITY RATE?

00:03:28.474 --> 00:03:30.743
>> WE ARE SO PROUD OF THE TOWER

00:03:30.810 --> 00:03:32.712
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER,

00:03:32.779 --> 00:03:34.080
STATE-OF-THE-ART, ALL THE

00:03:34.147 --> 00:03:35.114
TECHNOLOGY, SPACE, AND EXPERTISE

00:03:35.181 --> 00:03:37.150
THAT A MOM AND BABY AND FAMILY

00:03:37.216 --> 00:03:37.350
NEED.

00:03:37.417 --> 00:03:38.284
WE'RE MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT

00:03:38.351 --> 00:03:41.721
MAKING AN IMPACT ON INFANT AND

00:03:41.788 --> 00:03:42.655
MATERNITY MORTALITY.

00:03:42.722 --> 00:03:44.157
AS A STATE, WE HAVE IMPROVED IN

00:03:44.223 --> 00:03:45.892
THE STATE OF INDIANA, BUT WE

00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:47.493
HAVE A WAYS TO GO.

00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:48.828
THERE ARE SOME ZIP CODES,

00:03:48.895 --> 00:03:50.663
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DON'T FAIR AS

00:03:50.730 --> 00:03:52.699
WELL AS OTHERS, JUST LIKE MOST

00:03:52.765 --> 00:03:53.700
STATES, WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON

00:03:53.766 --> 00:03:55.768
IDENTIFYING WHAT ARE THE SOCIAL

00:03:55.835 --> 00:03:57.971

00:03:58.037 --> 00:03:59.706
REALLY HELPING THEM IMPROVE

00:03:59.772 --> 00:04:00.573
THEIR INFANT MORTALITY.

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:02.275
WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS AS A

00:04:02.342 --> 00:04:03.009
COMMUNITY.

00:04:03.076 --> 00:04:04.377
RILEY CHILDREN'S WILL PART WITH

00:04:04.444 --> 00:04:05.044
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

00:04:05.111 --> 00:04:06.779
OTHER PROVIDERS THROUGHOUT THE

00:04:06.846 --> 00:04:08.314
STATE THAT CAN HELP IMPACT

00:04:08.381 --> 00:04:09.048
INFANT MORTALITY.

00:04:09.115 --> 00:04:11.718
SO WE HAVE A WHOLE FOCUS ON

00:04:11.784 --> 00:04:13.620
MAKING SURE WE AT I.U. HELMET AT

00:04:13.686 --> 00:04:21.361
RILEY MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS THE

00:04:21.427 --> 00:04:21.728
STATE.

00:04:21.794 --> 00:04:23.463
MATERNAL MORTALITY, ONE THIRD OF

00:04:23.529 --> 00:04:24.330
THE COUNTIES THROUGHOUT THE

00:04:24.397 --> 00:04:26.165
STATE OF INDIANA DO NOT HAVE OB

00:04:26.232 --> 00:04:28.568
WARDS, OR LABOR AND DELIVERY

00:04:28.635 --> 00:04:29.035
CENTERS.

00:04:29.102 --> 00:04:32.071
AND SO THEY ALSO OFTENTIMES HAVE

00:04:32.138 --> 00:04:34.240
SIMILAR BARRIERS TO CARE, ACCESS

00:04:34.307 --> 00:04:36.109
TO CARE, OR PREVENTIVE SERVICES.

00:04:36.175 --> 00:04:37.577
SO WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOME

00:04:37.644 --> 00:04:40.747

WITH OUR PARTNERS TO HELP CLOSE

00:04:46.185 --> 00:04:46.786
THOSE GAPS.

00:04:46.853 --> 00:04:47.920
WE KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF FOCUS

00:04:47.987 --> 00:04:48.955
ON THIS.

00:04:49.022 --> 00:04:50.490
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

00:04:50.556 --> 00:04:52.892

00:04:58.131 --> 00:04:59.298
FOR MOTHER AND BABY.

00:04:59.365 --> 00:05:00.500
WE'RE VERY CONFIDENT TOGETHER AS

SOME OF THESE FEATURES.

00:05:11.778 --> 00:05:14.347
>> YES, THE TOWER WAS VERY

00:05:14.414 --> 00:05:16.516
THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED, INCLUDING

00:05:16.582 --> 00:05:18.618
INPUT FROM MOMS AND FAMILIES, TO

00:05:18.685 --> 00:05:20.053
REALLY DETERMINE WHAT DID THEY

00:05:20.119 --> 00:05:21.587
NEED THROUGHOUT THE CARE THAT

00:05:21.654 --> 00:05:23.456
THEY RECEIVED AT RILEY.

00:05:23.523 --> 00:05:25.725
SO WE HAVE A VERY COMFORTABLE

00:05:25.792 --> 00:05:26.659
ENVIRONMENT, VERY MUCH LOOKS

00:05:26.726 --> 00:05:28.094
LIKE A HOTEL, AS A MATTER OF

00:05:28.161 --> 00:05:29.295
FACT ONE OF OUR FIRST MOTHERS

00:05:29.362 --> 00:05:30.963
SAID SHE WAS GETTING READY TO

00:05:31.030 --> 00:05:32.799
GET DISCHARGED IN A COUPLE DAYS,

00:05:32.865 --> 00:05:34.200
SHE WANTED TO STAY A COUPLE

00:05:34.267 --> 00:05:35.635
MONTHS, WE CREATED AN

00:05:35.702 --> 00:05:37.103
ENVIRONMENT WHERE IT FELT VERY

00:05:37.170 --> 00:05:39.539
COMFORTABLE FOR MOMS, ALL OF THE

00:05:43.176 --> 00:05:44.677
PATIENTS TO HAVE THE PRIVACY

00:05:44.744 --> 00:05:45.611

00:05:45.678 --> 00:05:47.447
AND TO ENGAGE WITH OUR EXPERT

00:05:47.513 --> 00:05:48.414

00:05:52.485 --> 00:05:52.819
EXPERIENCE.

00:05:52.885 --> 00:05:54.253
WE ACTUALLY CREATED A SPACE

00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:57.457
WHERE THERE IS A SALON, A
