Centering Program
Aultman’s Centering Program brings together groups of women who want to better understand prenatal care and take active roles in their babies’ development. The Centering group offers a comfortable, open forum in which soon-to-be moms share stories, ask questions and learn from each other.
Each Centering group follows a traditional prenatal-care schedule, initially meeting monthly and then gathering more frequently as due dates approach. Aultman is the first facility in Ohio to receive site approval from the Centering Healthcare Institute. This approval recognizes Aultman for having met high standards for providing group prenatal care.
To learn more or schedule your first visit, please call the Aultman Physician Center at 330-363-6235.
