During this 24 hours, we will tour Pittsburg, Parsons and Independence Kansas to map changes in medical access for maternal care and delivery. Students will share an evening learning from a local OBGYN while also discussing articles and stats about the region WHILE exploring the distances between the regional birthing unit and the cities/towns the hospital services. Students will also have a chance to see local attractions (The Veterans memorial which is a replica of the national Veterans memorial in DC, Big Brutas and The Little House on the Prairie).
