About Centering Healthcare Institute

With over two decades of experience working closely with healthcare providers from all sectors, we have developed, championed, and spread access to the Centering group care model. Our team provides implementation support to guide healthcare practices through every step of the system redesign to build a foundation for a successful, sustainable practice. We have developed curricula and patient materials, and our facilitation training offers a variety of skill-building and interactive learning activities that prepare facilitators to lead engaging relationship-centered groups. We offer practice management, support tools, and site accreditation for model fidelity and quality assurance. We are engaged in advocacy efforts for payment reform and community outreach to achieve the Quadruple Aim of better health, better care, lower cost, and provider satisfaction.

Vaccination Requirements

As a condition of employment, each candidate selected for employment will be required to have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccination prior to the selected candidate’s start date with the Company and be fully vaccinated (as that term may be defined by the CDC) within 30 days from that date, unless approved for an exemption. We are a healthcare consulting company committed to putting health and safety first for our staff, partners, constituents, and the larger communities in which we live and work.

Proof of at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccination will be required prior to the scheduled start date, and proof of full vaccination will be required no later than 30 days after the start date. The Company will review requests for exemption on a case-by-case basis and provide reasonable accommodations to employees needing exemptions due to disability or sincerely held religious beliefs where doing so would not result in an undue hardship.
