Group prenatal care (GPC) is a novel model of health care delivery for pregnant patients. In GPC, a small group of patients of similar gestational age meet at scheduled intervals for both medical care and facilitated educational discussions. This care model encourages better communication and engages patients and providers in a supportive community. There is evidence that GPC leads to improved patient and provider satisfaction, health equity, and maternal and neonatal outcomes. Delivery of prenatal care in a group setting is a significant change from the traditional model and takes willingness, planning, and commitment for implementation and continued success.

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...
