superheroes themselves. This year's event was organized by FFA Alumni members Betty
Webb and Becky Butler. Above, Princesses from across the county came to the Morgan

CenteringPregnancy®,
developed by Centering
Healthcare Institute, has
been demonstrated to reduce
the incidence of preterm
birth and low birth weight.
This prenatal care model
integrates the three major
components of care: health
assessment, education and
support, into a unified pro
gram within a group setting.
Eight to 12 pregnant women
with similar due dates meet
together, learning care skills,
participating in a facilitated
discussion, and developing a
support network with other
group members. Each Cen
teringPregnancy® group
meets for a total of 10 ses
sions throughout pregnancy
and early postpartum. The
practitioner, within the
group space, completes stan
dard physical health assess
ments at each session.
