(Atlantic) Dr. Edna Becht is presenting at the first session of a brand-new series, Healthy U & Baby, Too!
The educational presentation “The 411 on URIs” (Upper Respiratory Infections) is scheduled for Tuesday, February 25th from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at the Ann W. Wickman Child Development Center.
“Parents of young kids know there is always a cough, a cold, a runny nose, or fever going on this time of year, so kind of decoding those symptoms and understanding what’s going on, treatments, understanding better how to provide care for your child,” said Ann McCurdy, Public Relations Coordinator. “It’s also a great opportunity for parents to meet Dr. Becht if they haven’t seen her in the clinic yet. She is a wonderful family medicine physician, she’s really entertaining and I think it will be a great night for folks.”
Ann McCurdy, Public Relations Coordinator, said Healthy U & Baby, Too! is a three-part series geared to parents with young children, and it is being held in conjunction with the support of Nishna Valley Family YMCA and Ann W. Wickman Child Development Center.
“It’s meant to be a nice evening for the parents where dinner is provided, childcare is provided, you can relax a little bit and you get to hear from some of our doctors about topics that are really important to young parents,” said McCurdy.
The next two sessions will be held on March 17 and April 21; details will be released at a later date.
All Healthy U & Baby, Too! events are free and open to the public. Parents do not have to have their child enrolled at the Ann W. Wickman Child Development Center to attend; childcare will be provided free of charge to any family attending.
Dinner will also be provided free of charge to families, but a reservation is required. To register for Healthy U & Baby, Too! visit casshealth.org or find the details on how to sign up on the Cass County Health System Facebook page.
