Childbirth Education and Virtual Tours

We invite all expecting parents to join us for our monthly Q&A webinar to speak directly with our childbirth education experts and ask questions.

We recognize that delivering a baby right now may cause anxiety; this is a natural reflection of love for your growing family. We remain committed to keeping you and your family safe and to preserving the joy of childbirth. We will have the latest updated information regarding hospital policies, including visitors. This is a great option to attend as we no longer offer in-person tours. We will review our online virtual tour gallery, and answer any questions you have.

For more information about the Virtual Q&A Session, please email Jessica McCann, RN, Program Coordinator.
