Centering Healthcare Institute is a nonprofit organization that champions and advances the evidence-based "Centering" group model of care to transform how healthcare is practiced and experienced. CHI promotes group medical visits—especially through pregnancy and early childhood—aimed at reducing preterm birth and racial disparities in maternal outcomes by combining medical care, patient education, peer support, and connections to community resources. With over two decades of experience, CHI has scaled the Centering model to roughly 480 sites across more than 40 U. S. states and territories and supports providers with training, resources, and an evidence-based framework for billable group visits. The organization is based in Boston and partners with healthcare providers and institutions to expand access and improve outcomes for families.
