Safe Babies Program

The Safe Babies program is a Deaconess Henderson Hospital program that is offered to every pregnant woman, and aims to provide moms with the tools and education they need to be successful on their new journey. This free program offers three inperson classes on pregnancy, birthing, safe sleep education, and more provided by Deaconess Henderson Hospital staff. These classes will be held on a monthly basis.

In addition to the in-person classes offered through Deaconess, there are also additional educational opportunities available through Marsha’s Place Pregnancy Resource Center. Marsha’s Place Earn While You Learn Program is designed to support families from pregnancy up until their child turns three. Marsha’s Place hosts one Deaconess class per month, and provides in-person and online parenting education. Patients are required to enroll in Marsha’s Place Earn While You Learn Program in order to receive a free car seat and pack-n-play from Deaconess Safe Babies.

There will be incentives and gifts available to participants throughout the program.

We, in collaboration with Marsha’s Place, look forward to helping you on your pregnancy journey and providing you with the knowledge and support you need to have a healthy and successful pregnancy.
