Aspirus expands class offerings for expectant parents
Aspirus Health is
excited to announce that they now offer a series of virtual
childbirth-education classes to Aspirus obstetrics patients. Through their
partnership with Birthly, patients can access a variety of prenatal and
postnatal classes at no cost.
“This series of
classes will be offered to all Aspirus obstetrics patients systemwide,” says
Kara Mrozek, Nursing Supervisor at Aspirus Stevens Point Hospital – Birthing
Center. “We’ve learned that 98 percent of obstetrics patients prefer virtual
classes,” explains Mrozek. “So, we’re very proud to offer all these classes to
our patients at no cost to them.”
All Birthly classes
are live, meaning patients can connect through a live video feed with
certified, experienced childbirth educators, while learning in the comfort of
their own home. Birthly educators will provide interactive teaching on a
variety of topics and patients will have dedicated time to ask questions.
Several of the
classes are offered in Spanish in addition to English.
Available classes
include:
- Early pregnancy
preparations
- Prenatal Bootcamp
- Coping and Comfort
- Breastfeeding 101
- Newborn Care
- Perinatal Mental
Health
- Pre/Postnatal
Movement and Mindfulness
“Aspirus will also
continue to offer in-person classes at the locations currently providing them,”
explains Mrozek.
Patients will
receive more information on how to sign up for and access classes during their
