Combating maternal morbidity and mortality:

In addition to completing his final year in the Doctor of Nursing Practice in Nurse Anesthesia program, Emmanuel Okeowo is using his time as a Schweitzer Fellow to address the rising rates of maternal morbidity and mortality among minority groups in Tulsa.

"𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻, 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗼𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘀, 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗰 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲.”

Partnering with Oklahoma Birth Equity Initiative, Okeowo is developing and implementing a community-based approach to maternal safety bundles and early warning systems.

“By the time my project wraps up, I intend to have in place accessible resources on maternal health education, healthy birth spacing and early warning signs. I am also committed to enhancing the existing doula prenatal curriculum so that it reflects current evidence-based practice guidelines.”

Tulsa’s Schweitzer Fellowship program launched in 2016. It is housed at UTulsa’s Oxley College of Health & Natural Sciences and is one of 10 Schweitzer Fellowship sites across the United States. To date, 111 Tulsa Schweitzer Fellows have contributed more than 23,000 hours to improve the lives of over 8,000 under-resourced Tulsans in partnership with over 70 Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma nonprofits, schools and clinics.
