Recently the Labor of Love Infant Mortality Summit was held in Indianapolis. Centering Pregnancy was a topic disucssed at the summit. The Governor of Indiana even mentioned CenteringPregnancy by name as a strategy to combat infant mortality in Indiana. Eskenazi Health had a poster presentation discussing our Centering program. Additonally, one of our providers along with two other Centering practice sites and March of Dimes grantees hosted the session Addressing racial disparities in preterm birth through the CenteringPregnancy® evidence-based program. It was a great opportunity for us to get more information out about Centering. I'm not sure what the exact attendance was for the session, but it the room was full and people showed lots of interest in the program.

Here is a handout based on the poster. I wasn't able to attach the PowerPoint presentation that was given in the panel session because the file was too large. |
