Health department to host community baby shower, expands maternal-child services
Summary
The health department announced a July 25 community baby shower offering car-seat checks, safe-sleep education and vendor resources; staff also became an official Cribs for Kids partner and funded 100 swim lessons this season.
Staff presented plans for a first-time community baby shower on July 25 at the library to help expectant families and caregivers access resources. The event will feature car-seat safety checks, safe-sleep education, and resource tables from health partners; FEMA funding will provide free car seats for those who pass safety checks.
Britney Schwab said the department "found out today actually that we are an official Cribs for Kids partner," enabling the county to use national safe-sleep materials and branding. Staff also reported funding 100 swim lessons and distributing water-safety bags to participants this year as part of outreach to reduce drowning risk.
