2008 Childbirth Education Class Schedule
You have so much to do to prepare for your baby’s arrival, from choosing a name to buying booties! It’s good to know that our specially trained Birthing Center staff can help! We offer a wide selection of educational classes that are sure to meet your individual needs – whether you're having your first baby, an experienced mother, or need specialized information. Mothers not delivering at Knox Community Hospital are still eligible to take these classes.
All classes are free of charge but registration is required for all classes.
