Education
and Support - Families thrive on
our resources.
Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital is committed to the
health and well-being of mother and baby –
every step of the way. That’s why we’ve been
offering ongoing parenting and birth awareness
classes for more than ten years, along with a variety
of other educational and support services.
A particularly important resource for first-time
mothers, our courses are offered through the
Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital obstetrics department
and are taught by trained health professionals,
usually registered nurses with a background of
practical experience.
