I was the featured midwife in a provocative and pivotal Boston Globe series that highlighted the \u201cDeath Zones of Boston\u201d \u2013 bringing the devastating statistics about racial and ethnic disparities within Boston\u2019s infant mortality crisis into the light of day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Somphit Chinkam, CNM, MPH, DNP Somphit speaks Thai and provides midwifery as well as gynecology care and colposcopy at\u00a0Whittier Street Health Center\u00a0and\u00a0Yawkey OB\/GYN Associates.
