Whether you are soon to be a new parent or a growing family, Elliot Hospital Childbirth Education provides great programs to assist you to learn about pregnancy, birth and caring for your baby. Our Registered Nurses and Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) bring knowledge, compassion, and years of experience to your learning.
Our goal is to empower, educate and excite you! We invite you to learn from and ask questions of the nurses who will be working alongside your provider to care for you and your babies during your delivery experience. Classes are also a wonderful opportunity to meet and connect with other parents within our community.
COVID 19 UPDATE: Please note at this time, non-infectious patients, visitors and vaccinated staff are no longer required to wear a mask. Please note that we will continue to provide masks at our facilities for all who need or want to wear them. We will continue to offer both in-person and virtual learning options to meet all comfort levels. Currently, tours will only be offered as a part of our “Learn to Labor” in-person classes.
