Wilson Medical Center invites you to attend our Lamaze classes. This program teaches you exercises for pregnancy and provides a better understanding and greater reassurance during childbirth. Classes are for 2-hour once a week for six weeks. We also offer refresher courses for those who have already taken Lamaze classes. There is a minimal charge for both classes.

Children love to swim and play outdoors in the summer months! Protect your children from sunburns and reduce their risk of skin cancer with these tips. Keep in mind the sun's rays are strongest between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and plan accordingly. Apply a waterproof sunscreen made for children with an S-P-F of at least 15, and reapply as directed. Dress them in wide-brimmed hats, cotton clothing, and sunglasses, so they can enjoy the sun safely!
