It was such a joy hosting this baby shower event at our 63rd and Cottage Grove location. 👶

The room was full, and with good food, great company, and helpful resources, expectant moms and families had the opportunity to connect with Friend Health care teams and get their questions about pregnancy and postpartum care answered.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate and support the growing families in our community!
