Making it out of the house with a little one can be a LOT! That's why we are going to add one virtual baby cafe session/ week so you can still get your breastfeeding questions answered while smelling your baby's head and getting some skin-to-skin contact from the comfort of your own home!

Starting Wednesday, March 18, we will be meeting virtually every other week from 10am to noon. Keep an eye out for a Teams link as we get closer.

Can't make the meetings? No worries! You can text/ call our breastfeeding peer counselor, Courtney, with all of your breastfeeding questions at 269-838-9985.

The HPV vaccine isn’t just for girls — it’s for boys too.

It protects your child from ge***al warts, cervical cancer, and several other cancers later in life.

Safe, effective, and recommended before exposure, the HPV vaccine gives your child a shield against serious health risks.

Parents in Michigan can still follow the AAP’s vaccine schedule, even with recent changes to CDC guidance. It’s the best way to keep kids healthy, which is why Michigan health officials continue to follow the AAP’s recommendations. Routine childhood vaccines will be covered by most private insurance companies and government programs.
