Starting June 25, 2023, and on the fourth Sunday of every even numbered month going forward, Family Birth Place at Adventist Health Tillamook will be offering free, nurse-led birthing classes for Tillamook County mothers and fathers expecting a child in their future.

This class will be held in Conference Room ABC on the third floor of the medical center for four hours, starting at 1 p.m. and ending at 5 p.m. The class topics include:

• True labor vs. false labor
• Vaginal vs. C-section birth
• Comfort issues for labor
• Breastfeeding and bottle feeding
• What to expect during your stay

Please call 503-815-2289 to RSVP for the class and free gifts donated by the staff and community.

Heather Thompson, RN and Patient Care Executive at Adventist Health Tillamook shares, “I’m excited to be able to offer this to our community again, in-person and in a caring, compassionate space led by our skilled Family Birth Place nurses.” Traditionally, Adventist Health Tillamook held birthing classes regularly up until the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Now with limited restrictions on in-person events, several classes have returned.
