Bláz’s story about being from small-town Texas to leading LGBTQ+ inclusion in health care to to donating blood at @stanfordblood is a powerful reminder: When we break down stigma, we change lives.
stanfordbloodcenter.org/breaking-bar...
For years, outdated bans excluded many LGBTQ+ people —particularly gay and bi men — from donating blood.
Bláz Bush knows that pain personally. But today, as Exec Director of Stanford's LGBTQ+ Health Program (led by OB/GYN), he's part of the change.

The retreat made one thing clear:
The future of care isn't just about new tech.
It's about how we choose to use it.

AI can help personalize education, simulate encounters, and enhance access.
But can it teach empathy? Critical thinking?
Faculty and trainees are navigating how to integrate tools without site losing what matters most: our patients.
From automated notes to patient-specific materials and translation tools, AI is already in the room.
But participants emphasized the risks: bias, overuse, and equity gaps.
Efficiency should support — not replace — compassionate care.
At Stanford’s 2025 OB/GYN Education Retreat, the spotlight was on AI.
How will it reshape clinical care, teaching, and administration — and how do we use it responsibly?
A few reflections 🧵

With STORK, providers can flag unmet needs and follow up with care that supports recovery, of both mom and baby.
It’s one step toward a better standard for maternal health.

STORK is a 47-question screening used before and after discharge. It asks about:
✔️ Pain
✔️ Sleep
✔️ Emotional health
✔️ Feeding challenges
✔️ Support systems
A simple tool that fills a long-overdue gap in postpartum care.
What happens after the baby is born?
Too often, moms are discharged without a single check-in on how they are doing.
At Stanford, Drs. Pervez Sultan & Deirdre Lyell developed STORK — a new checklist that centers the parent, not just the newborn. 🧵
