WAUSAU, WI (OnFocus) – Aspirus Health is excited to announce that they now offer a series of virtual childbirth-education classes to Aspirus obstetrics patients. Through their partnership with Birthly, patients can access a variety of prenatal and postnatal classes at no cost.
“This series of classes will be offered to all Aspirus obstetrics patients systemwide,” says Kara Mrozek, Nursing Supervisor at Aspirus Stevens Point Hospital – Birthing Center. “We’ve learned that 98 percent of obstetrics patients prefer virtual classes,” explains Mrozek. “So, we’re very proud to offer all these classes to our patients at no cost to them.”
