Franciscan Health Michigan City to Host Free Baby Shower for Expectant Families
Franciscan Health Michigan City is set to host a complimentary baby shower, titled “Way to Grow,” aimed at supporting expectant families and new parents. This event is part of the health system’s initiative to provide valuable resources and foster community connections among parents. Scheduled for Saturday, October 25, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., the event will take place at Franciscan Health Michigan City, located at 3500 Franciscan Way, specifically in the Maria Theresia Conference Room, conveniently situated across from the cafeteria on the first floor.
The Way to Grow baby shower promises to be an enriching experience for participants. Attendees can expect a wealth of informative activities focused on essential aspects of parenting and child safety. Educational sessions will cover critical topics including car seat safety, prenatal care, and the essentials of safe sleep practices for infants. Understanding such topics is vital, as research shows that proper car seat use and safe sleep environments significantly reduce the risk of child injuries and fatalities.
Additionally, the event will offer exclusive tours of the Family Birth Center, allowing expectant families to familiarize themselves with the facilities and resources available for prenatal and postnatal care. Attendees can also indulge in a complimentary breakfast buffet, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among participants.
To further enhance the appeal of the event, Franciscan Health Michigan City is organizing giveaways, including a coveted Doona stroller and a Jeep stroller wagon, providing attendees with valuable practical items for their parenting journey.
Registration for the baby shower is essential, although the event itself is free of charge. Prospective participants can secure their spots by registering online through the Franciscan Health website or by contacting the health system at 1-800-931-3322.
This gathering not only equips parents with crucial information and resources but also serves as a platform for building a supportive community network, reinforcing Franciscan Health’s commitment to the well-being of families in the Michigan City area. By fostering connections between new parents and healthcare professionals, the event aims to enhance the overall parenting experience and ensure that families feel informed and empowered as they embark on this significant life journey.
