Marshall Hosts Free Class for Expecting Parents

Nov. 22, 2016 — New parents have questions. Marshall’s Community Health Education Department has answers. Pregnant women and their partners are welcome to join our next All About Having a Baby class beginning Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2017.

The eight-week series will run each Wednesday through Feb. 22 at 681 Main St. in Placerville. Each session will prepare moms and dads-to-be with healthy pregnancy and baby care advice. Expecting parents can learn about labor and birth, baby care, breastfeeding and more. Participants will hear guest speakers and take part in demonstrations – and can also enter to win a generous and useful gift.

There is no enrollment fee. Register by calling 530-626-2990 or online at the Classes / Events section of www.marshallmedical.org. Space is limited. Marshall is an independent, nonprofit community healthcare provider located in the heart of the Sierra Foothills.
