New Group-Based Prenatal Care Program Launched for Expecting Mothers

July 1, 2025 - 22:33

Intermountain Health has introduced an innovative group-based prenatal care program designed for expectant mothers, in collaboration with the nonprofit Centering Healthcare Institute. This initiative, known as Centering Pregnancy, aims to enhance the prenatal experience by fostering a supportive community among moms-to-be.

The Centering Pregnancy program prioritizes patient-centered care, allowing participants to engage in longer clinic visits with certified nurse midwives. This approach not only provides comprehensive medical support but also encourages shared experiences and knowledge among participants. Expecting mothers can benefit from group discussions covering various topics related to pregnancy, childbirth, and infant care, creating an enriching environment for learning and emotional support.

By offering this unique model of care, Intermountain Health hopes to improve health outcomes for both mothers and their babies. The program emphasizes the importance of community and connection during the prenatal journey, making it a valuable resource for families preparing for the arrival of their little ones.
