“The crisis has caused mothers to reconnect with their nurse if they had been missing appointments in the past. In many cases, those mothers have come back to us,” said Candace Knight, Ph.D., an obstetric nurse at the UAB School of Nursing and the director of the program. “The moms seem to be really positive about connecting this way. They want to protect themselves, their babies and us, in the same way that we want to protect them.”
