Summary
This study tested whether community health workers can help Black postpartum patients who had preeclampsia or other pregnancy complications. 61 participants were split into two groups: one received usual care, the other also got support from a community health worker. The goal was to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, and if it could improve blood pressure control and long-term heart health.
