MCR Health Hosts Third Annual Community Baby Shower
MCR Health will host its third annual Community Baby Shower, a free event designed to support expecting and new parents by providing vital resources, educational materials, and gifts to help families prepare for their newborns. Building on the success of last year’s event, which served over 200 families, MCR Health will expand its impact in 2025 with the support of dedicated community partners and sponsors.
“We are thrilled to bring this event back for a third year,” said Dr. Melvin B. Price, President & CEO of MCR Health. “New parents face many new experiences and challenges, and this is a wonderful opportunity to provide them with valuable resources as they embark on parenthood. Of course, we couldn’t do it without our community partners and sponsors, and we sincerely thank them for their support.”
Attendees will benefit from health education focused on breastfeeding, maternal health, and early childhood development. The event will also provide important resources and support for women’s health in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. MCR Health will showcase its innovative maternal health services, including convenient visits, comprehensive monitoring, and personalized care plans.
Special gifts and raffle prizes will be available for moms and dads (while supplies last). Families can also connect with local resources, including pediatrics, OB/GYN care, dental, vision, nutrition counseling, and more.
