MagMutual Insurance Co. announced that its chief medical officer Tanner Colegrove, MD, will present current research on maternal mortality in the U.S. during the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) West Virginia Section Meeting, December 6 - 8 at the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs.

Colegrove will discuss findings from MagMutual’s report Worsening Maternal Mortality in the U.S.: The Role of Physicians and the Public in Addressing this Growing Crisis, which examines the many causes driving the maternal mortality trend and provides strategies for healthcare providers to elevate care, improve outcomes and reduce litigation.

Dara Aliff, DO, a member of the MagMutual Board of Directors, is chairing the ACOG program, which is eligible for CME credit. Participating faculty will lecture on issues, clinical developments and diagnostic and treatment methodologies in obstetrics and gynecology, including maternal morbidity and mortality, minimally invasive gynecological surgery (MIGS) in pregnancy, adolescent contraception, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), preterm birth prediction, and prevention, menopause and fetal surgery.

“Maternal mortality in the U.S. is an incredibly complex issue which requires the collective involvement of the medical community, legislators, researchers, educators and the general public,” Colegrove said. “MagMutual has conducted extensive research on this issue, and I’m gratified to share the findings that may help the medical community have a meaningful impact in addressing this problem beyond their own healthcare institutions.”
