MLK visited Ohio Northern 56 years ago

As our nation prepares to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, we commemorate the 56th anniversary of Dr. King’s speech at Ohio Northern on Jan. 11, 1968.

“Somewhere we must come to see that human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals who are willing to be co-workers with God. Without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. So, it is necessary to help time and to realize that the time is always ripe to do right.”—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Weekend Doctor: As much prenatal care as possible

Engaging in as much prenatal care as possible is the single most important thing a pregnant woman can do, even if care is not sought until late. Pregnant women with substance use disorder (SUD) frequently face tremendous stigma and judgment when seeking medical care. Experience with judgment and stigma can often make it difficult to seek prenatal care, mental health care, and community support services. 

Providers should utilize a trauma-informed care approach when working with substance-using pregnant patients to combat stigma. This includes harm reduction and motivational interviewing. Focusing primarily on building trust, enhancing self-efficacy, and strengthening personal skills and resources promotes optimal health and well-being of the mother-baby dyad.
