To support expecting mothers in Pickens County, Molina Healthcare of South Carolina is teaming up with The Parenting Place and Foothills Community Health Care to host a community baby shower. Molina will give approximately 100 moms-to-be with a complimentary diaper bag filled with baby essentials.
Partnering organizations will provide additional giveaways and education on health topics such as prenatal health, breastfeeding and early childhood development. Attendees can also enjoy light refreshments as well as educational bingo and raffle prizes.
The event is designed to create awareness about the importance of prenatal and postnatal care. Improving birth outcomes and reducing infant mortality rates can often be achieved through education and healthy choices, and this event seeks to give families expecting a baby the resources to help them get the care they need.
This event is open to pregnant women in the community. All giveaways will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
