New York State adopts lifesaving…

Tear pad informs and empowers expectant and new…

Because symptoms of preeclampsia can be mistaken as being "normal" during pregnancy, it is critical for all pregnant women to understand and recognize the warning signs of this life-threatening disorder and seek medical attention if they experience them. That's why the New York State Department of Health is offering important preeclampsia patient education to all New York birthing facilities.   Available in English and Spanish, the Preeclampsia Symptoms Tear Pad uses illustrations to describe signs and symptoms so they are easily understandable, especially for those with poor health literacy.
