Win Network

What Win Network does

Win Network is a non-profit community health program based in Detroit, Michigan, focused on improving maternal and infant health outcomes for mothers and families from pregnancy through one year postpartum. The program delivers Enhanced Group Prenatal Care (GPC) using the CenteringPregnancy curriculum, in which Certified Nurse Midwives and Community Health Workers (CHWs) serve as co-facilitators — a configuration described as the first of its kind in the United States. Care is delivered through Henry Ford Health, leveraging the health system's clinical sites and patient infrastructure across Detroit.

The program's core differentiator is the CHW co-facilitator model, which integrates community-based lay health workers into formal prenatal care groups alongside licensed midwives. Win Network operates as a community-facing service rather than a commercial product company; it does not sell software, license its model externally, or generate commercial revenue. Its economics are consistent with a grant- and hospital-funded non-profit program, with a small staff (11–50 employees) operating in a single metropolitan market.

Strategic activity centers on the 2026 planned expansion to additional Henry Ford Health locations and the continued institutionalization of the CHW co-facilitator model. The program is led by co-founder and Principal Investigator Kimberlydawn Wisdom, whose involvement anchors the model's clinical and community credibility. There is no indication of external commercialization, third-party licensing, or technology productization in the supplied data.

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• National Birth Equity Collaborative (NBEC): National nonprofit focused on Black maternal health equity through training, advocacy, and community-based models. Comparable mission and outcomes orientation, with partial overlap on training CHWs and supporting group prenatal/community care.
• Mama Glow: Maternal health organization offering doula training, group prenatal support, and birth-equity programming. Comparable on community-based group prenatal care and Black maternal health mission, though more diffuse geographically.
• Reaching Our Sisters Everywhere (ROSE): National nonprofit addressing breastfeeding inequities in the Black community through peer support and community engagement. Comparable in targeting Black maternal/infant outcomes with a community-based, peer-support delivery model.

Direct peers

• Black Mothers' Breastfeeding Association: Detroit-based nonprofit focused on Black maternal and infant health through peer support, lactation services, and community-based interventions. Directly comparable target population, geography (Detroit), and community-health-worker approach.
• Centering Healthcare Institute: The national organization that owns and licenses the CenteringPregnancy curriculum used by WIN Network Detroit. It is a direct peer because WIN Network's flagship Enhanced Group Prenatal Care product is built directly on CHI's model and delivery framework.
• Nurse-Family Partnership: National nonprofit providing nurse-led home-visit support to first-time mothers from pregnancy through age 2. Comparable to WIN Network in target population (low-income pregnant women), intensive 1:1 support model, and outcomes-driven maternal/infant health mission.
• Healthy Start (HRSA program / Strong Beginnings): Federally funded Healthy Start grantees (e.g., Detroit's Strong Beginnings) deliver community-based maternal/infant health services to high-risk pregnant women in Detroit — directly overlapping WIN Network's geography, population, and service model.
• Birthing Beautiful Communities: Cleveland-based nonprofit offering group prenatal care, doula support, and community-based maternal health services to Black mothers — same model archetype and target population as WIN Network Detroit, and operates in a comparable Rust Belt urban health-equity context.

Broad incumbents

• Henry Ford Health: WIN Network Detroit's parent health system partner and host institution. Comparable as the integrated delivery system within which WIN operates and from which it derives clinical staff, facilities, and distribution.
• March of Dimes: Large national nonprofit addressing maternal and infant health through research, advocacy, and program funding. Competes for the same philanthropic dollars and policy attention as WIN Network, but operates at national scale with a broader portfolio.
