Georgia’s preterm birth rate climbed to 11.2 percent last year, up from 10.8 percent in 2015, which is higher than the national preterm birth average of 9.8 percent in 2016, which rose from 9.6 percent the year before.

Nicole, thanks for sharing! As I was reading, I kept hoping that CenteringPregnancy would be mentioned! It was, however I was sad not to see Grady Hospital in Atlanta on the list of supported sites. I have to be optimistic and hope that after Clair was there their CenteringPregnancy is soaring and does NOT need MOD's funding. I wonder if there are any other states seeing a rise in their PTB rates?
