This inaugural Modern Healthcare Next Up episode dives into some ways that the COVID-19 pandemic is disproportionately affecting women.
Most of our nation's essential workers, particularly in healthcare, are women who are dealing with burnout, furloughs, pay cuts, mom guilt, homeschooling, mental health risks and increased risk of exposure to COVID-19 even as they are being asked to work more on the front lines and at home.
Modern Healthcare reporter Maria Castelucci's story on this issue was published on May 25, so please check it out on https://www.modernhealthcare.com/.
We'll also be exploring this issue at the Women Leaders in healthcare virtual conference on August 13-14, 2020. To learn more, go to https://www.modernhealthcare.com/womenleaders.
In this episode, we're talking to Dr. Rosemary Morgan, on faculty at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health with a joint position in the School of Nursing, also co-coordinator of the International Gender and COVID-19 Working Group.
