Healthful Woman Podcast

Dr. Fox introduces Dr. Stephanie Lam, an OB-GYN who works with Maternal Fetal Medicine Associates out of Carnegie Women’s Health. In this episode, Dr. Lam discusses her path from volunteering as a Candy Striper to medical school and beyond, why being a “people person” is important in her role, and creating a memorable and comfortable experience for first-time patients.

Dr. Stephanie Lam explains one of the most common reasons women come to see their OB-GYN: routine Pap Tests. Learn more about who needs a Pap Smear and how often, modern technologies and methods of testing for signs of cancer, detecting HPV, and more.

Dr. Emily Oster, an economist and expert in pregnancy who has authored data-driven parenting books including Expecting Better and Cribsheet, meets virtually with Dr. Fox to discuss what parents can expect in regards to the COVID-19 virus. How are the virus and social distancing impacting pregnancy, delivery, and young children? Learn more about the rapidly developing situation.

Dr. Angela Bianco explains how labor and delivery is impacted by the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic. On a day-to-day basis, labor and delivery units are facing numerous obstacles including maintaining patient safety, screening and testing patients and partners for the virus, and keeping up with new mandates and CDC recommendations.
