Birth Center Orientation & Expectant Parents Night

We are committed to providing you with all of the information you need for birth at the Johnson Center for Pregnancy and Newborn Services. Each month we offer free evening presentations for all of those expecting to deliver their baby at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. Each evening's schedule is below. Feel free to attend whichever parts are of interest to you.

5:30 pm	A presentation by our own Safely Home Car Seat Fitting Station on car seat safety and installation
6:00 pm	Birth Center Orientation with video tour and question and answer session
6:30 pm	An obstetrical anesthesiologist will discuss pain relief options during labor
7:15 pm	A pediatrician will discuss their role in the birth process

This is a free event; no registration is needed.
Location: Auditorium, first floor of Packard Children's Hospital
Due to construction work on our new hospital building, the routes to get to Packard Children’s Hospital have changed. Please view the new maps and directions. You can also learn more about our project plans.
The Packard Pass photo ID badge system is a new and easy way to increase safety by identifying everyone who enter our hospital and giving them a temporary photo ID badge to wear while in the hospital. We encourage you to allow a few extra minutes at the Security check-in for the Birth Center Orientations.
