education & wellness

When it comes to health care, women are the decision makers. They are more likely to choose health care providers, schedule doctor's appointments, and make medical decisions for their entire family. At Bon Secours we believe that informed patients make the best health care decisions.

As part of our mission to promote health education and wellness throughout the Hampton Roads community we offer a variety of programs and events. Whether you want to learn about the latest clinical advances in joint replacements take a breastfeeding basics class or make an appointment with a nutritionist, Bon Secours has a resource for you.

classes & seminars

We are proud to offer a variety of classes and seminars to all members of the Hampton Roads community. The large majority of these events are entirely free of charge. Bon Secours for Women holds several seminars and events geared specifically towards women and women's health issues, including annual cardiac, "The Heart of the Matter," and orthopaedic, "Bones, Moans & Groans," seminar series. To register or learn more about these events visit our online events calendar or call 889-CARE (2273).

Family Focus
Mary Immaculate Family Focus program provides an array of services to families, which include parent education classes, support groups for parents and caregivers. Three main goals direct all of our programs and activities: to reduce parent isolation by increasing parent-to-parent support and linking families to valuable community resources, to increase parents' knowledge of childhood behaviors and development through parent education, to promote positive nurturing parenting practices.

Love & Learn with Bon Secours
In keeping with our commitment to the community, our Love & Learn classes provide information on pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare every new parent needs. Whether you are interested in yoga, staying fit during pregnancy or giving your child the best care, there are many classes from which to choose. The majority of our classes are offered free of charge. Go to our online class catalog or call 889-BABY (2229) for more information or to register for classes.
