🎤 Centering at the table in Camden, NJ.

This event brought together advocates, policymakers, and faith leaders to confront the maternal mortality crisis—and elevate bold solutions. Disha presented on the Centering model and joined a panel to share how community-based care and policy can work hand-in-hand to improve outcomes.

🥦 Centering meets nourishment in Saginaw.

CMU Health has launched a new pilot program offering free healthy food to pregnant patients participating in their CenteringPregnancy program—right at the point of care. 🙌🏽

With support from the Eastern Michigan Food Bank and a grant from Molina Healthcare, this initiative is helping combat food insecurity and support healthier pregnancies in Saginaw County, where over 13% of residents face food access challenges.

📦 Patients attending a CenteringPregnancy session at CMU Health’s Women and Children’s Center will now receive a bag of nutritious food to help support both maternal and infant well-being.

💬 “By providing access to healthy food, we hope to reduce risks associated with poor maternal nutrition,” said Kelly Ellis, WHNP and CenteringPregnancy Coordinator.
