A winter storm is stressful enough. Pregnancy shouldn’t make it harder.

What happens if labor starts during a snowstorm?
What if appointments are canceled?
What if roads aren’t safe?

In Centering groups, patients don’t just receive care, they talk through real scenarios together, build confidence, and leave better prepared for the unexpected.

This , CHI is honoring Black leaders whose work has shaped, and continues to shape, maternal health in the United States.

We begin by recognizing Dr. Janell Green Smith, a nurse-midwife, maternal health advocate and Doctor of Nursing Practice whose life and work reflected a deep commitment to respectful, evidence-based and holistic care.

Dr. Green Smith was widely respected for her leadership and advocacy, working within the healthcare system to identify gaps in care, elevate the voices of Black mothers and strengthen care models rooted in trust, dignity and accountability. Her work continues to influence how maternal health care is delivered and experienced.

We also pause to acknowledge Dr. Green Smith's unexpected recent passing, which represents a profound loss for the maternal health community. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, loved ones, colleagues and all those who were impacted by her life and work. Her legacy calls us to continue listening closely, strengthening care and advancing systems that truly support expectant parents.

Throughout February, we’ll be sharing weekly spotlights honoring Black leadership across maternal health.

Keep an eye on our page each week as we continue to lift up the leaders whose work continues to inspire and guide us.

is a moment to pause and reflect.

In the U.S., pregnancy-related complications and deaths remain unacceptably high and Black families continue to experience these outcomes at significantly higher rates than others. These are not rare events. They are happening every day.

This is why this day matters so deeply to us at CHI.

For 25 years, we’ve focused on improving maternal health outcomes by strengthening how care is delivered during pregnancy. Through the CenteringPregnancy® group care model, we bring people together to create time for shared learning and connection because we have seen that care that supports understanding and community changes experiences and improves outcomes.

Today, we pause to reflect and recommit to why this work matters.

Your support helps ensure this work continues.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

His vision reminds us that progress begins with imagining something better. At CHI, that means working toward pregnancy, birth, and healthcare experiences where Black expectant parents and patients feel supported and where maternal and other health outcomes are stronger because of it.

We wish a bright and healthy New Year to all!

Parents across the country are saying the same thing: they don’t feel supported.

A new survey of more than 2,300 women found that many entered pregnancy without the information they needed, struggled to get help after birth and felt forgotten once the baby arrived. Nearly 9 in 10 didn’t know cervical checks aren’t required. Two in three felt ignored after delivery. More than half faced postpartum mental health issues with little or no support.

Parents are calling for more time with clinicians, better education and real emotional support.

CenteringPregnancy creates that space. Longer visits, shared learning and trusted relationships help expectant parents feel informed and supported through every stage.

💡 What if the secret to healthier births is simply more time with your provider?

A new study found that more hours in prenatal care, especially in the third trimester, significantly lowered the risk of preterm birth.

CenteringPregnancy gives parents 10x more time with their provider in group prenatal care than traditional care, creating the kind of connection and continuity that helps support healthier outcomes and reduce the risk of preterm birth.
