In this powerful episode of Health Hustle Chronicles, we sit down with Dr. Phindile Chowa, a Board-Certified Emergency Medicine Physician and Founder of EMCare2U, to discuss how she’s reshaping maternal healthcare.
From her roots at the University of Pittsburgh to training at Harvard, Dr. Chowa has always been driven by a passion for patient-centered care. But it was the COVID-19 pandemic that ignited her mission to address critical gaps in healthcare—especially for new mothers navigating the "fourth trimester."
We dive into:
🔥 How her experiences in emergency medicine exposed flaws in traditional maternal care
🔥 Why she transitioned from hospital leadership to launch a concierge medical practice
🔥 The real struggles of postpartum recovery and why maternal health needs a revolution
🔥 What new moms MUST know about self-care, advocacy, and building a support system
🔥 Insights from her book, What to Expect Next!, and why maternal wellness should be a priority
Dr. Chowa’s work is a game-changer for new mothers, and this episode is packed with insights, empowerment, and real talk on how to transform healthcare from the inside out. Whether you’re in medicine, a parent, or just passionate about health equity, this episode is a must-listen! 🎙️💡🔥
