Despite the advanced, high quality medical care available in the United States, disparities in birth outcomes still exist. This program aims to develop a group-care model for prenatal care with goals to improve overall patient satisfaction and health literacy related to pregnancy and the postpartum period and reducing potentially preventable adverse outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight and infant mortality.  Year one will start spring 2025 and focus on Galveston's Regional Women Service and Pediatrics clinics (RWSP).  Year two will expand into the RWSP clinics in the Beaumont area.
