Dear Friends:
 
I have posted one URL for group visits; there are many other articles  
endorsing this practice. 2 of the Health Centers in my City use prenatal group  
visits as a way to maximize provider contact in a social situation. As humans  are 
social creatures, and oxytocin flows in group settings because individuals  
feel safer, and overcrowding in Health Centers is fast becoming a major problem 
 (particularly with the increasing numbers of uninsurable women needing 
care),  group care is a new idea that appears to be useful.

Childbirth education classes are an example of group teaching that has been  
shown to work. 
 
warmly,
