November is Premature Awareness Month

 

 

November isn't just known for Thanksgiving, it's also Premature Awareness Month.  Almost 400,000 babies are born prematurely in the United States each year, according to Registry Partners.

These babies miss out on important growth and development in the womb that happens during the final weeks or months of pregnancy.  One Sioux County, Iowa mother talks about how her life changed after the premature birth of her son.  I like to call him my number 15 or 15%, because that's how much chance of survival he had," Jezzika McKee said. "He had a 15% chance of survival and we didn't think he would make it.  Actually, the doctor told me that both of us would've lost our lives."  McKee adds that her son is now taking food by the mouth and some of Sam's favorites include Doritos and cheese curds

Sex Trafficking Power and Control Wheel - Our job as a healthcare provider

 

  • Healthcare has been identified as #3 of top 5 points of contact with victims of human trafficking
  • A study in 2019 revealed 87.8% of trafficking survivors reported accessing healthcare services during their trafficking situation
  • Of this, 68.3% were seen at an emergency department
  • This puts us in a very unique position to recognize, build rapport and refer victims to services that can help.

 

House Enrolled Act No. 1191, Section 2.IC 25-1-9-4.5 – amended and effective in 2018

States that a practitioner is “subject… to disciplinary actions” if that practitioner “has been presented with evidence that… would cause the practitioner to believe that a patient is a victim of human trafficking” and “fails to provide information to the patient concerning available services and resources, including the telephone number for the National Human Trafficking Hotline.”

If a child (any person under 18) is involved, you MUST notify DCS or a local law enforcement agency
