In 2008, Dr. Phillips was approached by Dr. Kangamin Yu from China. He knew about her work, and wanted permission to have her latest book “Family-Centered Maternity Care” translated into Chinese. Dr. Phillips agreed, and the book was translated into the Chinese language and published within six months. Dr. Yu then invited Dr. Phillips to come to China and help him train hospital staff in the philosophies and practices of Family-Centered Maternity Care. In May and June of 2009, Dr. Phillips will be speaking on FCMC at Suzhou Municipal Hospital in Suzhou, China, where her book has been used to design a Family-Centered hospital and program, the first in China.

Dr. Celeste Phillips recently received the 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award in Women's Health from Bon Secours Richmond Health System and The Snowmass Institute. The award was given "on behalf of the tens of thousands of women and families who have benefited from her passionate advocacy for Family-Centered Maternity Care."
