Group prenatal care is a proven strategy to ensure pregnant people receive adequate prenatal care, to decrease maternal depression, and to increase the initiation of breastfeeding. CenteringPregnancy® (CP) is an evidence-based, patient-centered model following nationally-recognized guidelines that leads to better care, better health outcomes, and lower cost. Allies in several states have advocated for group prenatal care to be a covered benefit in Medicaid and in private insurance as one of a myriad of strategies needed to improve maternal health.
Join the Alliance for Early Success, the Centering Healthcare Institute, and the Michigan Council for Maternal & Child Health on Thursday, October 31, from 3:00 to 4:30 pm ET, to learn more about group prenatal care and its impact on maternal health, CenteringPregnancy as the predominant model of group prenatal care, and how allies in Michigan have worked to ensure pregnant people across the state can access group prenatal care.
