Brooklyn Providers Open House: CenteringPregnancy

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) is hosting information sessions for prenatal care providers to come together and learn about group prenatal care. CenteringPregnancy is an innovative model of group prenatal care in which 8 to 10 pregnant women meet regularly with a medical provider to discuss care practices, build social support, and receive prenatal health assessments. Research on CenteringPregnancy has demonstrated a range of maternal and infant health benefits, including reductions in rates of preterm birth.

Attendees will have an opportunity to learn from current providers of CenteringPregnancy group prenatal care on how the model has worked in their practices and how they have overcome challenges, as well as hear from group prenatal care patients. We will also highlight opportunities for practices to apply for funding to support implementation of CenteringPregnancy in their locations.

Registration is free and required in order to attend. Light refreshments will be served. We welcome you to forward this invitation to prenatal care providers who may have interest in attending.
