Highlighted Service

Duke Family Medicine Center offers CenteringPregnancy® prenatal care for expectant mothers. The model of care replaces routine individual visits with group visits of eight to twelve pregnant women who are due about the same time.

In a two-hour visit, moms have a one-on-one assessment with the provider and plenty of time for group sharing and discussions. Patients participate in their own care and have time with their provider to discuss important information.

Patients receive all the components of prenatal care, including health assessment, education, and support. In the group sessions, there is a facilitated discussion of pregnancy, birth and newborn care as well as overall health, stress management, and more.
