Wellness Programs

Community of Hope provides supportive programs and wellness education to help you and your family when you need more than medical advice to feel better.

We’ll provide the information and support you need to reach your health goals. We believe that good health requires more than an annual check-up, so we offer these services that go above and beyond basic medical care.

Pregnancy Care and Groups 

We want all of our moms and babies to have the best outcome possible – so starting in the 6th month of pregnancy (around 26 weeks), pregnant moms join the CenteringPregnancy® group. 

Our moms benefit from:

• Interactive learning and fun discussion in a relaxed setting with other moms due at the same time as you
• Education about labor, breastfeeding and basic newborn care
• Games, food and chances to win prizes or receive gifts for your baby
• Continue to have one-on-one checkups with the midwife during group

Plus, there is no wait time for your appointment!

Centering is currently offered at two of our locations: the Conway Health and Resource Center and the Family Health and Birth Center. 

Want to learn more about how to join our CenteringPregnancy Group? Call the health center nearest to you for more information.
