Stork’s Nest celebrates its 20th year with a reception and diaper drive from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday in the Durham Outpatient Center West Atrium.
Stork’s Nest is a program designed to promote prenatal care participation and encourage healthy behaviors during pregnancy through two components — incentives and education. Stork’s Nest clients “earn” points toward incentives such as maternity or baby care items though a variety of positive, health-promoting activities: attending prenatal visits, participating in prenatal education classes, stopping at-risk behaviors — such as smoking cigarettes and consuming alcoholic beverages — and reducing stress.
Bring a package of any size diapers to the reception on Tuesday. For more information about the Stork’s Nest, click here or contact Bridget Brown at 402-871-7640.
In addition to the celebration, Books Are Fun will be in the West Atrium all week; proceeds from this event will benefit Stork’s Nest.
Book sale hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.
