After repeated requests to @NYGovCuomo and @HealthNYGov to get clarification on EO 202.13 have gone unanswered I've started a new petition to make it happen chng.it/Nw67bqpzF9 @AnnieMackNY @melissadderosa @KatieVanSyckle @irin @nyphospital @DrShuffrey

Even after your update today in EO 202.13! @nyphospital will not change their policy on the postpartum floors until the EO explicitly states “labor, delivery as well as the ENTIRE postpartum stay including on postpartum floors”

Replying to @melissadderosa
“The EO 202.12 requiring a support person for a patient giving birth is modified insofar as to cover labor, delivery as well as the immediate postpartum period” is being interpreted by @nyphospital hospital to EXCLUDE recovery in the postpartum units!! Partners are STILL banned

@melissadderosa @NYGovCuomo @HealthNYGov Inconsistent hospital policies regarding L&D and Postpartum units mean expectant parents have fled the city to seek care elsewhere; have made late-term hospital and practice changes; are having increased extracurricular

I encourage you to clarify the Executive Order to specifically state: “The directive of Executive Order 202.12 requiring a support person for a patient giving birth is modified insofar as to cover labor, delivery as well as the PACU and the entire postpartum hospital stay.”
