Centering Pregnancy

Centering Pregnancy is currently the gold standard of care that integrates the three major components of care:

  • Education
  • Healthcare
  • Social Support

Prenatal care and education are provided in a relaxed group setting where eight to twelve women with similar due dates meet to share their experience. They learn care skills, participate in a facilitated discussion, and develop a support network with other group members. Each pregnancy group meets for a total of 10 sessions throughout pregnancy and early postpartum. Over time, Centering Pregnancy has a proven track record of superb outcomes for both mother and baby.

The Centering Pregnancy model is offered at High Country Healthcare OB/GYN Specialists to all of our patients. Some of our  patients may receive financial assistance through a collaboration with St. Anthony Summit Medical Center, Summit Community Care Clinic and Summit County Public Health.
