Centering Healthcare Institute (CHI)
Centering Healthcare Institute (CHI) disrupts inequitable systems through the Centering group model of healthcare. Through Centering groups, CHI strives to recreate a healthcare system that goes beyond medical interventions to build communities, empower and educate patients, and connect the most vulnerable with essential resources. Their flagship program, CenteringPregnancy, achieves these goals by offering group-based prenatal care that fosters education, support, and community among expecting mothers. CenteringPregnancy transforms traditional prenatal care by bringing together 8-12 women with similar due dates for group sessions that blend health assessments with peer learning and support. Mothers gain the ability to actively engage in their care, participate in meaningful discussions, and build lasting connections with each other. With over two decades of experience, CHI has scaled CenteringPregnancy to nearly 500 healthcare practices, serving an estimated 25,000 individuals annually across 44 states.
