Centering Healthcare Institute

Pregnancy often is a joyous time but it also can be a stressful one.

During , we are celebrating how Centering helps expectant parents have the community and support they need to help navigate the psychological challenges of pregnancy.

For one CenteringPregnancy® participant, the experience became a source of connection during a time when they needed it most:

“I moved to Michigan from California and shortly after I became pregnant. I had not made any friends yet and Centering saved me from loneliness and gave me a great resource for making friends.”

That is what Centering helps pack into the journey: a place to learn, ask questions, build relationships and feel less alone.

Help more expectant parents pack what matters most.

Something beautiful is growing at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore. 🌱

The Sinai team recently launched a community garden for Centering patients, creating a space where patients can experience the full journey of planting, tending and eventually enjoying what they’ve grown.

Diabetes Centering patients joined for a hands-on planting day and they absolutely loved it!

The garden includes dedicated beds for the Centering program and the OB-GYN department, with the goal of creating a meaningful space for patients and staff to connect, learn and share in the joy of growing together.

We love seeing Centering sites bring the model to life in creative ways that support connection, education and community.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the service members who gave their lives in service to our country.

We are grateful for their sacrifice, and we hold space for the families, loved ones and communities who carry their memory forward.

Today, and always, we remember.
