Access Bridge improves access to evidence-based reproductive health services and increases health equity by building the capacity of America’s EDs.

POSTS STORIES REELS

At Access Bridge, we’re on a mission to strengthen reproductive health services in U.S. emergency departments. For many, the ED is the only place they can turn to for urgent care-yet essential reproductive health services are often out of reach.

Through innovative protocols, dedicated training, and the power of collaboration, we’re empowering ED providers to offer life-saving, evidence-based care. Together, we’re bridging gaps in access and creating safer and stronger communities. #accessbridge #reproductivehealth by @accessbridge_

Access Bridge is ready to confront increasing challenges to reproductive healthcare. From evidence-based protocols to clinical fellowships, we’re empowering emergency departments to serve as reproductive health safety nets. The need has never been greater, and neither has our commitment. Meet the people behind the mission and see how we’re addressing critical gaps in care—together. 💟

We’re building a healthcare landscape where providers are empowered to make life-saving reproductive health decisions with confidence and clarity. Our expanding network of physician leaders implement Access Bridge protocols and champion their adoption in hospitals and emergency departments nationwide. These dedicated efforts and expanded resources equip EDs across the U.S. to deliver the evidence-based care that every patient deserves, expanding access to reproductive healthcare nationwide. #accessbridge #reproductivehealth #emergencymedicine #evidencebasedmedicine by @accessbridge_

We are excited to share the impact of the TEACH + Access Bridge ED Partnership! From March 2025 through August 2026, TEACH and Access Bridge trained 20 acute care clinicians in medication abortion across 16 California counties, in emergency departments and other acute care settings.

This effort was funded through the Reproductive Health Service Corps, creating new reproductive health champions in the areas that need them most.

‼️ Call for Papers: Reproductive Care in the Emergency Department

The Western Journal of Emergency Medicine (WestJEM) is inviting submissions for a Special Issue on Reproductive Care in the Emergency Department, set to be published in the Fall of 2027.

For many patients, the emergency department is the only accessible point of care for urgent reproductive health needs, from pregnancy complications to contraception needs to abortion care.

As access to reproductive healthcare continues to shift, emergency clinicians and health systems need better evidence to guide clinical pathways and close gaps in care.

WestJEM welcomes papers on:

✅ Clinical care and innovative care models
✅ Access and disparities
✅ Education and training
✅ Health policy

The journal especially encourages submissions from medical students, residents, and fellows.

📅 Deadline: January 31, 2027, 11:59 p.m. PT

🔗 Submission Information: link in bio!

This issue will be led by co-guest editors Marta Rowh, MD, PhD, MPH (Emory University School of Medicine) and Neelou Weeker, DO (University of California, Davis Health).

If you’re working on research related to reproductive health and emergency medicine, this is an important opportunity to contribute to a growing and vital area of social emergency medicine.

Access Bridge is honored to have its leadership and clinical protocol for managing pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) featured in @propublica today.

New reporting found that nearly 200 women died after an ectopic pregnancy from 2020-2025, about double the number from the six years before.

An ultrasound often can’t confirm an ectopic pregnancy early on. Patients in states with abortion bans face a higher bar for treatment, one that requires near-certainty a scan often can’t give for days. Patients in states without bans have an option those in ban states don’t: choosing not to wait out the risk at all.

Our clinical director, Dr. Rebecca Nerenberg, put it simply: “Seeing a mass is not the only reason to have high suspicion for an ectopic pregnancy.”

Despite the scale of this problem, that gap hasn’t been closed by state guidance or hospital policy. That’s exactly why Access Bridge exists, to give emergency department clinicians the support they need, so they can act when it matters most.
