The infant mortality rate in the United States, and even here in West Michigan, has increased over the last 10 years and is just too high. The CenteringPregnancy® program will improve maternal and infant mortality rates, and save the lives of mothers and babies by addressing premature birth rates here and now.Spectrum Health delivers babies—LOTS of babies. Last year, we had nearly 8,000 births. Yet many moms do not receive appropriate prenatal and postnatal care. Care that will help them have a healthy baby. The CenteringPregnancy® program is a “small group” approach to prenatal care for expecting mothers. Your donation will help connect pregnant women with clinicians and other women in a group setting. Participants are encouraged by the staff leaders and their peers to seek proper care when needed, follow recommendations, and engage in activities that will help ensure a healthy birth. Your donation will change the future of prenatal care in our community.
