Our group appointments are inspired by the Centering Heathcare Institute. Centering is a model of group health care, which incorporates three major components: assessment, education, and support. Group participants meet with their care provider and other group participants according to a regular schedule for a much longer period of time (usually 90-120 minutes) than a usual check-up visit. Centering promotes individual health empowerment and community-building. For more information about the centering health care initiative, please visit www.centeringhealthcare.org
