What The Funding Achieved

Programs, and what they changed

JB-LF funds innovative programs that increase access to care — then measures whether they worked.

Telemedicine Pilot for High-Risk Patients

We funded remote prenatal monitoring for high-risk obstetric patients at Virginia Hospital Center's Outpatient Clinic, running from 2017 to 2020. The results were strong enough that VHC expanded the model to all pregnant patients.

OB Connect

Piloted in 2021–22, OB Connect paired expectant mothers with dedicated care nursing and remote "Continuing Care Visits" by secure video, plus at-home care kits, an educational app and Spanish-language materials — free to patients at VHC's Outpatient Clinic.

The Nursery Project

Launched during the pandemic to supply newborn essentials — promoting safe sleep and breastfeeding while distributing car seats, portable cribs, diapers, strollers and baby books to families who need them.

Maternal Mental Health Research

We support a DC-wide research project developing and implementing strategies that reduce obstacles to screening for stress, depression and anxiety during pregnancy.

Newborn Well-Child Visits

Because a healthy start doesn't end at delivery, we've funded newborn checkups for families who could not otherwise afford them.

200+ visits funded
