Baby Steps Tours

One of the most important things to do before your delivery date is to take a Baby Steps Tour at the new Center for Women & Infants. Baby Steps Tours give you a chance to become familiar with our amenities and services, ask important questions and get to know our staff before your baby’s arrival.

The 2025 tours take place on the dates and times listed below; no appointments needed, just meet us in the lobby on the first floor of the Center for Women and Infants Center and the tours will begin promptly, at the times scheduled.

To find the MCH Center for Women & Infants see the MCH Campus Map.

We also recommend that you pick up a Prenatal Packet from our staff members during your tour. You can also request a Prenatal Packet during one of your check-ups at your physician’s office. This helpful packet contains information you’ll need to prepare for your delivery and is an excellent resource for planning your admission to the Center for Women & Infants.
