Prenatal Care At the Center

The Ida Mae Patterson Center for Maternal & Infant Wellness was founded on the tenets of the Village Circle Approach. The Center offers community-embedded group prenatal care, designed to support, protect, and provide community-based clinical care to childbearing persons and their families.

Care participants—enrolled pregnant clients—receive care in supportive peer cohorts that focus on perinatal education, informed consent, community nurturance, and support, all in a culturally validating environment.

The Village Circle Approach aims to eliminate the damaging consequences of racism in prenatal care, currently demonstrated within standard medical models of care. The model focuses on clinical excellence, client autonomy, and group determination, all within a culture of validation and celebration.
