Group Care Global‘s mission is to promote group health care for pregnant and parenting people, infants, partners, and their families to improve health and well-being.

To support this mission, Group Care Global collaborates with international partners to integrate Centering-Based Group Care into health systems.

As a US-based independent non-governmental organization, we commit to continuing to work in partnership with colleagues around the world to ensure that local knowledge, supportive relationships, and connection are at the forefront of how care is delivered and experienced. We value the lives of people wherever they live, respecting and celebrating the diversity that exists throughout the world, including differing abilities, sexuality, gender identity, religion, race, ethnicity, age, language, and economic and immigration status. We strive to strengthen meaningful collaboration based in equity, inclusion, and human dignity.
