Who'd have thought?
While this article is confusingly and poorly written, and they never actually mention the name of the center founded by Ruth Lubic (it's the DC Birth Center), it is nice to see a little attention paid to such a fantastic organization. Serving primarily low-income women, the DCBC has nonetheless managed to drastically improve the rates of prematurity and low-birthweight babies in impoverished areas of DC--areas where the statistics are traditionally much worse than in the rest of the country.
This article, from the Washington Post last year, does a MUCH better job of underscoring what a phenomenal women Lubic is, what an incredible institution she's founded, and, heartbreakingly, the dire straits it's facing as a result of unfairly skyrocketing insurance rates. Read it; it's worth your time.
