Elle Ruggiero is a graduate of Princeton University, Class of 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in the School of Public and International Affairs and minors in Global Health Policy and Spanish. She is currently a Henry Richardson Labouisse ‘26 Fellow, working with a reproductive rights legal clinic in Brasília, Brazil. At Princeton, Elle’s interests in health equity and reproductive justice culminated in her senior thesis, which investigated how the gradual erosion of maternity care services in Trenton, New Jersey has affected maternal health care access and outcomes over time. In 2011, the Trenton maternity care landscape drastically changed when Capital Health shuttered their Mercer Hospital campus on Bellevue Avenue as part of a larger plan to open a new hospital outside the city in neighboring Hopewell. Since then, Trenton has sustained several hospital-based obstetric unit closures, discontinued prenatal care services, and a shortage of maternal care providers who accept Medicaid insurance. Using a mixed-methods approach, Elle’s thesis sought to determine the impact that such changes have had on the health of one of the city’s most vulnerable populations: pregnant and postpartum women.
