GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The BHSH Spectrum Health West Michigan OB\/GYN Residency Practice has been named the first-ever Centering Site of the Year by the Centering Healthcare Institute (CHI) for its work implementing and executing the CenteringPregnancy\u00ae care model, in collaboration with Priority Health. Spectrum Health was recognized for patient care as well as how the program adapted and continued to care for expecting women amid the COVID-19 pandemic.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nCenteringPregnancy, an evidence-based model of group health care, combines a health assessment with interactive learning and community building to help support positive health behaviors, drive better health outcomes and address the complex social determinants of health. CenteringPregnancy brings expecting patients who are due around the same time together for routine prenatal care. Research confirms active participation in CenteringPregnancy lowers the risk of preterm birth, closes the disparity gap in preterm birth for all patients, increases breastfeeding rates and improves both prenatal visit adherence and patient satisfaction.\n<\/p>\n

\nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, Spectrum Health pivoted from in-person meetings to offering a virtual option for patients. The team developed tools and resources for providers, residents, clinical staff and scheduling teams to support Centering conversations with their patients.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are deeply grateful to receive this national award for our CenteringPregnancy program, especially considering the challenges COVID-19 created for this normally in-person program,\u201d said Cheryl Wolfe, MD, MBA, vice president and department chief of Women\u2019s Health, Spectrum Health West Michigan. \u201cOur team has gone above and beyond to keep patients engaged and motivated and to find the best way to serve our patients.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nPriority Health was the first insurer in the state to invest in the CenteringPregnancy model by providing additional funding to address barriers to care and support participation.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSupporting a care model that not only improves health outcomes for members but also lowers overall health costs is a win-win,\u201d said James Forshee, MD, senior vice president and chief medical officer at Priority Health. \u201cPriority Health and Spectrum Health are both honored to receive this recognition from CHI. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Centering Healthcare Institute to help address racial health disparities within prenatal care here in Michigan.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAngie Truesdale, CEO of CHI, will present this inaugural award to Spectrum Health today.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Women\u2019s Health team is working with the Spectrum Health Foundation and community partners to expand the CenteringPregnancy program to additional locations outside of Grand Rapids in the near future.\n<\/p>\n
