Women Inspired Neighborhood (WIN) Network | Building An Enhanced Model of Group Prenatal Care

Session Is Over
-
1690 SPH I
Courtney Latimer, Women Inspired Neighborhood Network Program Manager & Felicia Lane, Community Health Worker

Group prenatal care is widely understood as a protective form of care with demonstrated success in improving birth outcomes for vulnerable populations. Specifically, CenteringPregnancy is an evidence based group prenatal care model that is currently being used at various clinics throughout the country and internationally. Henry Ford Hospital System is the first community pilot of the program that incorporates a Community Health Worker (CHW) as a key change agent within a group prenatal care practice. There is empirical evidence in the research to support the role of the CHW in various settings including working with pregnant women, however there is not much in the literature about group prenatal care that is enhanced by a CHW component and this project serves to fill this gap. This presentation will cover an overview of our enhanced model of GPC and our birth outcomes so far.
