About The Brewer Institute
The Brewer Institute was founded in 2005 by Gail Sforza Krebs, M. H. A, an expert in the organization, financing and delivery
of health care services, and Thomas H. Brewer, M. D., an OB/GYN clinician and researcher internationally recognized for his
work on the effects of maternal nutrition on pregnancy outcome, particularly the relationship between maternal diet during
pregnancy and toxemia of pregnancy.
From 1975 until Dr. Brewer's death in 2005, the founders collaborated on a series of books for parents and professionals,
organized seminars for health professionals and the public, and staffed a pregnancy nutrition hotline.
The Brewer Institute continues these activities with an emphasis on implementing effective nutrition management through
initiatives for caregivers, employers, payors, government agencies, policy makers, legislators, and individuals.
Two major goals of The Brewer Institute are:
1) to establish public health reporting of maternal nutritional status on birth certificates, using the maternal serum albumin
value as the indicator of nutritional adequacy, and
2) to mandate the inclusion of maternal serum albumin values as a variable of interest in the study design of all federally
funded research involving pregnant women. This omission confounds much of past and current research in maternity care.
