Annual Birthday Party (Currently not available due to COVID Restrictions)
Every year, in September, the OB team celebrates the babies born in the past year by inviting families to a day of fun and games at our Main Campus. With nearly 450 births each year, we have much to celebrate!
Sibling Preparation Class (Currently not available due to COVID Restrictions)
The relationship between siblings is one that lasts a lifetime and preparing children for the birth of a new baby is an important beginning.
Children will have the opportunity to prepare for the new baby by practicing in sibling related activities. Each child will learn how to handle and play with the newborn and how to assist parents with the baby’s cares. Parents and children will also tour the labor and delivery room and nursery at Lakewood Health System. For dates, more information or to register, please call 218-894-8623.
So You Want To Breast Feed
Confused about breastfeeding? Wondering whether you should try it? Interested in nursing a second time around but need a refresher?

Our breastfeeding class is taught by an international board-certified lactation consultant, and has up-to-date, evidence-based information. Although there will be some discussion of the benefits of nursing, this class goes beyond that and delves into topics like returning to work, nursing in public, and latching and positioning your baby. Pregnant moms are encouraged to come and bring their support person as well.
