The Practical Playbook III



Our Health Director, Lisa Harrison, collaborated on a chapter featured in The Practical Playbook III. In this particular chapter, the focus is on highlighting the crucial role of local health departments, including GVPH, in delivering maternal health care in rural areas.
The Practical Playbook III serves as a guide for researchers, community activists, and maternal health advocates, providing practical tools and strategies to address inequities in maternal health. This third volume specifically aims to articulate the necessity and opportunities for enhancing maternal health through collaborative efforts across multiple sectors.
GVPH takes pride in ensuring that all pregnant women have access to early and continuous prenatal care. This service is accessible to women of all income levels, with the option of services being offered on a sliding fee scale.

The Centering Pregnancy® Program is a prenatal check-up, nurse visit and childbirth education all in one appointment!

Centering Pregnancy is a support group that builds a community that empowers women to be actively involved in their own care and better equipped to make healthy choices throughout their pregnancy and beyond. The program is a unique style of prenatal care as a group. Expectant mothers meet for 10 sessions with a group of 8-10 other pregnant women with similar due dates. Each time a group meets, women have the chance to record their pregnancy progress, check their baby, address specific concerns one-on-one with their provider, and discuss pregnancy issues that are relevant to them as a group, including exercise, nutrition, stress reduction, signs of labor, breastfeeding, new baby care and postpartum issues.
