Expectations Expectations Team Provides Services from Pregnancy to Parenthood Lakewood Health System is proud to provide a perinatal service—Expectations. The former OB Education/Perinatal Educators department has a new name and a new look that reflect its expanded services. Expectations is offered as a free, complimentary service to all expectant parents at Lakewood Health System. The Expectations team includes Sarah Baumgartner, RN, CLC; Allison Rondestvedt, RN, CLC; Kim Quance, RN, CLC; and Nan Kalk, RN; Heidi Storry, RN; and Amber Noble, RN, CLC. “Our team provides support from pregnancy to parenthood for expectant parents, families and siblings,” said Sarah Baumgartner, OB Coordinator. “We offer relaxation and breathing classes for moms and their coaches, lactation counseling, car seat safety education and home visits after the birth.” A wide range of topics are covered during visits, including physical changes during and after pregnancy, baby growth, nutrition, safety, feeding options, labor, delivery and family transitions. Expectations team nurses also assist with births at Lakewood Health System Hospital in Staples. After delivery, moms receive a car seat, a luxurious robe and a baby care bag courtesy of Expectations. Expectations visits take about 30 minutes and are held either before or after healthcare provider appointments. Parents can choose as many visits as they need and coaches, friends or family members are welcome at any visit. Visits are available at Lakewood Clinics in Staples, Browerville, Eagle Bend, Motley and Pillager. The Expectations team is also available by phone for questions. For More Information
