UMMA Clinic’s CenteringPregnancy® and CenteringParenting® programs offer more than just medical care—they create a supportive community for parents and children.

CenteringPregnancy®
What is CenteringPregnancy®?

Phase 2
CenteringParenting®
What is CenteringParenting®?
CenteringParenting® provides family centered well-child care for the first two years, continuing on from CenteringPregnancy or starting when 6-8 parents and infants of the same age are brought together for care. In each two hour visit you’ll have a one-on-one assessment with the provider and then time for group discussion.
You are actively involved in your child’s assessment at every visit: tracking growth, development, immunizations and oral health. Individual well-child health assessments, immunizations and developmental screenings follow the Bright Futures™ nationally recognized guidelines. An emphasis on family, self-care, wellness and women’s health is woven throughout.
