Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a program Woman's Hospital has made, called the Her Health Program, can help women be healthy and get healthcare in the first year after having a baby.

The main question\[s\] the study aims to answer are:

* Can the Her Health program increase access to healthcare in the first year postpartum?
* Can the Her Health program increase knowledge about healthcare and change feelings toward the healthcare system?

Participants will complete one research visit in which they will be enrolled and told which group they will be in- "Her Health Program" group or "Usual Care" group. If they are placed in the "Her Health Program" group, they will receive their usual care + the addition of an extra healthcare team member(called a community health navigator) to to work with patients and care team for a year postpartum.

Researchers will compare those who receive the Her Health Program and those who do not receive the program to see if the Her Health Program can help women get healthcare in the first year after having a baby.
