The impact of CenteringPregnancy often lasts far beyond pregnancy.

At Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, families recently reunited with the care team and fellow parents who supported them through their Centering groups.

For many military families navigating frequent moves and transitions, the connections built through Centering help avoid isolation and create lasting support networks during an important moment in their lives.

Stories like this remind us that when prenatal care happens in community, the relationships often continue long after the babies are born.

New CDC published data demonstrates that there is a rising trend of patients starting prenatal care later or not receiving it at all.

We must address this trend.

One of the ways to do this is to transform how prenatal care is delivered as traditional short prenatal visits don’t always meet the needs of families.

Innovative approaches such as the CenteringPregnancy group model of care are creating space for deeper education, stronger relationships and improved maternal health outcomes.

During her first pregnancy, Annahgrace Lee said she felt “embarrassed and lost".

This time, she experienced something different.

Through CenteringPregnancy® at JPS Health Network, Annahgrace attended prenatal visits with a group of other expectant mothers, creating space to ask questions.

As a result, she felt more equipped to breastfeed.

“Because of the education that I had, I just felt more confident in myself,” she shared.

Annahgrace’s story highlights the power of the Centering model of group care. Research shows the Centering model improves maternal and infant health outcomes while helping families feel more informed, supported and prepared for parenthood.

Great care experiences start with great facilitators.

CHI recently hosted our first Advanced Centering Facilitator Workshop of 2026 at Stony Brook University Hospital in New York, bringing together experienced nurses and midwives who have often been facilitating CenteringPregnancy groups for more than a decade.

Together they explored advanced facilitation techniques, practiced navigating complex conversations and shared ideas for keeping sessions engaging and impactful for families.

Investing in facilitators helps ensure the Centering model continues to deliver powerful group care experiences.

A recent segment from PBS39’s Living in the Lehigh Valley highlights how the CenteringPregnancy model at Lehigh Valley Health Network, part of Jefferson Health, is transforming prenatal care.

By bringing expectant mothers together in group care, CenteringPregnancy creates space for education, shared learning and meaningful connections that support both moms and babies.

Programs like this are helping strengthen maternal health outcomes and build supportive communities for families across the nation.

For many mothers, pregnancy can feel overwhelming. But no one should have to navigate it alone.

At this year’s Ohio CenteringPregnancy Consortium, healthcare teams gathered to strengthen how they support families through group prenatal care. One of the most powerful moments came from hearing directly from a mother who has experienced the program firsthand.

Sierra Spates, who has participated in CenteringPregnancy twice, shared how the program helped her feel supported, informed and connected during her pregnancy.

“CenteringPregnancy means a lot to me because it gives pregnant women the opportunity to connect with each other and learn about what to expect during pregnancy and after their babies are born,” Spates said.

Through CenteringPregnancy, mothers come together with their care team and other parents to ask questions, share experiences and learn how to care for themselves and their babies.

Today we recognize and honor the generations of Black midwives who have shaped maternal healthcare in the United States.

For centuries, Black midwives have been trusted leaders in their communities providing care that centers relationships, education and support for families.

Their legacy continues today through care models such as Centering that bring patients together, strengthen connection and empower families with knowledge.

CenteringPregnancy continues to expand across Texas.

JPS Health Network recently relaunched CenteringPregnancy at its Stop Six–Walter B. Barbour Health Center in Fort Worth, bringing group prenatal care back to the community after a pause during the pandemic.

Supported through the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas Special Beginnings grant, this effort is helping more families access prenatal care that combines clinical care, education and peer support.

We’re excited to see Centering growing again in the Stop Six community.
