Hospital to host Baby Quest Adventure

Texas County Memorial Hospital’s obstetrics department and local area businesses are sponsoring a Baby Quest Adventure on Friday, August 5, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon in the Jayson Gentry Community Safe Room at the hospital.

The Baby Quest Adventure is a no-cost educational community event for expecting and new parents, grandparents, babysitters, and anyone interested in learning more about pregnancy and parenting.

Nursing staff from our TCMH labor and delivery will offer education on breastfeeding, infant CPR, water and home safety, nutrition and hydration, diapering and bathing station, healthy pregnancy tips, and babysitting.

Partnering with TCMH at the event is the Missouri State Highway Patrol with fingerprinting, car seat and seat belt safety, and poison control; SIDS and safe sleep by Cribs for Kids; W.I.C.; Texas County Health Department and their car seat program; and Pregnancy Resource Center of South-Central Missouri.

“We look forward to offering valuable information and meeting the residents of Texas County and the surrounding area,” Kristel Barton, obstetrics director said.

Refreshments and door prize drawings will be available at the adventure. Join us to help you pack your gear for your new pregnancy and parenting journey.
