On March 2, Step Up Together launched our new Quarterly Community Debriefs with a discussion focused on First Stage Fetal Bradycardia and intrapartum transfer from community settings. Community Debriefs are 60-minute sessions that bring together professionals across the maternity care system—community midwives, hospital teams, EMS personnel, educators, and quality improvement leaders—to reflect on what happens

Perinatal emergencies are the classic “low-frequency, high-acuity” challenge for EMS: they’re uncommon enough that confidence and muscle memory can fade, but when they happen, the stakes are large: two patients, rapidly changing physiology, and a system that has to coordinate fast from dispatch to the receiving hospital. Step Up Together® bridges the gap between silos.
