Join us for the Mercy Stork Affair


Stop by the Mercy Stork Affair on Saturday, August 24 from 9am until 1pm—a free event for anyone expecting or thinking about starting a family. No registration required!

Mercy Stork Affair includes an Educational Expo with classes for everyone! Topics include: Breastfeeding, Babyproofing Hidden Dangers, Birth Doulas, Raising Baby with Pets and a New Parent Survival Guide—which will feature a Mercy pediatrician giving professional advice and parents giving first-hand parenting experience.

An Open House in our Women & Infants’ Center gives guests an opportunity to tour our facility and meet the staff that will be caring for them when “it’s time.” Refreshments are provided at the Open House.

Mercy experts will inspect your baby’s car seat at the Car Seat Safety Check. The Car Seat Safety Check will be held in the West Parking Ramp at 5 Ave. and Laurel St.

There will be an Exhibitor Hall where businesses will be showcasing the latest products and services for mom and baby.
