As the story of Spectrum Health Pennock evolves, patients’ lives and their well being are transformed. We are witnessing dramatic improvements in the health of our community—yet we recognize there is much more to accomplish. Maternal and infant mortality rates are shockingly high throughout our country, region and right here in West Michigan. Maternal mortality rates have dramatically increased in the last ten years throughout the United States, and in West Michigan, infant mortality rates are no better than average. The most disadvantaged of our society suffer an even more disproportionately negative impact. At Spectrum Health Pennock Hospital, we have a meaningful opportunity to improve the health of pregnant women and their unborn child by transforming prenatal care through the CenteringPregnancy® Program. Learn more about the CenteringPregnancy® Program at Spectrum Health Pennock Hospital.Please join us—your generosity will open a new chapter in the Spectrum Health Pennock story, transforming the lives and health of expecting mothers and babies throughout greater Barry County.
You are making an important impact on the care that our patients and their families receive at Spectrum Health Pennock Hospital. Your generosity will help us to further expand maternal and infant health through the Centering Pregnancy Endowment Fund for Pennock. More than 150 women have participated in the original Centering Pregnancy program during the pilot program through Spectrum Health Butterworth, with 92 percent of participants reaching full-term in their pregnancy. Addressing preterm births through the CenteringPregnancy® program in Barry County is helping us reach our goal of saving lives and improving the health of mothers and babies. Because CenteringPregnancy® also addresses health inequalities through greater access to care; we will better serve the mothers and babies at greatest risk. Thank you for your investment in the health of the communities we serve and for the difference you are making for so many patients and families in the area.
