This exposes families to economic shocks from predictable, yet costly, healthcare needs. **📊** Medical debt among new mothers often correlates with broader financial distress, including credit issues and delaying further necessary care. Potential income loss from unpaid leave exacerbates this economic vulnerability. ## Upskilling/ Reskilling Intiatives **🧑‍⚕️ FSU Partners with Ascension Sacred Heart to Expand Physician Residency Programs in Florida.** Starting July 1, four residency [programs](https://www.miragenews.com/fsu-ascension-sacred-heart-unite-for-physician-1470823/?ref=newsletters.qs.com#google%5Fvignette) with 90 training slots will be sponsored by Florida State University's College of Medicine, aiming to address Florida’s physician shortage. **💊** **DHCD Grants $88K to CSUSB’s Street Medicine Program to Expand Community-Based Nursing Training**.
