Where Clinical Expertise Meets Systems Change
I help hospital systems reduce severe maternal morbidity and mortality by addressing one of the most preventable drivers: unnecessary cesarean sections in low-risk births.
The evidence is clear. Cesarean delivery increases the risk of hemorrhage, infection, thromboembolism, and complications in future pregnancies. For Black and Brown women, who face cesarean rates 20-30% higher than white women even after controlling for medical risk, this isn't just a quality issue. It's a matter of survival.
I'm Dr. Elizabeth Bostock — OB-GYN and former health system Executive Medical Director. I've delivered babies and I've run the operations that shape how hospitals make clinical decisions. I know why NTSV cesarean rates stay high even when everyone agrees they shouldn't. And I know how to move them without sacrificing safety, revenue, or physician engagement.
If your hospital's NTSV rate is above 23% and you're serious about maternal safety and equity, let's talk.
That gap between knowing and doing is where I work.
What I Focus On
Maternal Health Systems Strategy
From quality improvement to large-scale care redesign
Postpartum Care Redesign
Closing the gaps that leave women behind after delivery
AI and Innovation Integration
Thoughtful, grounded approaches to emerging technology in women's health
Maternal Health Disparities
Moving organizations from disparity reporting to structural change
Speaking & Workshops
I speak with organizations ready to move from awareness to action — bringing clinical credibility, systems thinking, and the kind of candor that makes people uncomfortable in the best possible way.
Audiences include health systems, national conferences, academic medical centers, and employers invested in women's health outcomes.
Current Topics
Cesarean Section Reduction That Actually Sticks
Why most C-section reduction efforts fail, and what a systems approach looks like in practice
Maternal Health Disparity Beyond the Data
Moving organizations from disparity reporting to structural change
The Future of Women's Health
Thoughtful integration of AI and innovation into maternal care systems

Let's Talk
Better outcomes don't happen by accident. They happen when clinical expertise meets implementation rigor and someone is willing to stay in the room until the system actually changes. That's what I bring.
