This new service is designed to serve as an extension of your regular hospital or physician care and to complement existing community groups. We know you're busy getting ready for your little one, but there's one detail we don't want you to forget. In the midst of all this excitement, it's important for you to remember to prepare for your baby's delivery through education. We will help you and your spouse or support person decide which childbirth and parenting classes are best suited for your particular needs. This way, everyone in your family can share in your baby's arrival.
