There is no better time to honor the history of Centering Healthcare Institute than during National Prematurity Month. Join us as we pay tribute to our founder Sharon Schindler Rising and the devoted team who started CHI 20 years ago and as we showcase testimonials from Centering champions, researchers, staff and CHI board members.
We will be joined by the researchers whose critical work demonstrates that CenteringPregnancy has been shown to lower the risk of preterm birth and close the disparity gap in preterm birth between Black and white women.
