    Meet our Leadership Council - today we're highligh Meet our Leadership Council - today we're highlighting Dr. Narges Farahi!

Dr. Narges Farahi is a family medicine physician and longtime champion for person-centered and family-centered care. Dr. Farahi is a Professor at UNC, where she served as the Director of the Family Medicine Perinatal and Child Health Program for ten years. Her heart is in community health, and her outpatient practice is at Prospect Hill Community Health Center, a rural federally qualified health center. Prior to her current role, Dr. Farahi served as the medical director of the NC Farmworker Health Program. Her clinical interests include providing seamless care for people with the capacity for pregnancy across the continuum of care, including before, between and after pregnancies. Dr. Farahi is committed to providing trauma-informed care, supporting people and families to meet their reproductive goals, and using quality improvement strategies to help health care practices and systems better meet the needs of patients and families. She has been a leader in implementing enhanced access to comprehensive contraception options and the IMPLICIT interconception care model in the primary care setting. Dr. Farahi works to integrate community engagement and implementation science to transform care with a focus on patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and polycystic ovary syndrome. Her goal is to center the voices of patients and families from marginalized communities and build partnerships with patients and communities to improve health.

    Juggling the responsibilities of life and parentho Juggling the responsibilities of life and parenthood often means less time to take care of yourself. Many mothers/birthing people (MBP) don't attend their own doctor's appointments, but almost ALL attend their child's doctor's appointments. 

Smoking/vaping status is one of the screening questions asked during both IMPLICIT Interconception Care (ICC) and 4th Trimester (4TM) models of care. Many times, MBPs who smoke or vape, see quitting during pregnancy as a time limited response and will start again after having the baby. 

IMPLICIT ICC screens mothers/birthing people at their child's Well Child Visits (WCV) from ages 0-24 months and offers the opportunity to meet MBPs where they are at, providing support in maintaining or starting their smoking/vaping cessation. 

IMPLICIT data showed that an overwhelming number of MBPs are willing to receive advice about their health from their child's provider. 

Identifying risks and providing interventions at WCVs in between pregnancies promotes not only healthier future pregnancies, but a healthier mother/birth person, child, and family.
