Preparing for a new baby is easier when a community comes together. ❤️
This weekend, Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center hosted its first Community Baby Shower, bringing together community partners and Legacy care teams to support 30 growing families with education, resources and essential baby supplies.
Designed for families who face barriers to accessing prenatal, postpartum and parenting support, the event created a welcoming space where parents could ask questions, build connections and access practical resources to help them prepare for their baby's arrival.
Families took home newborn essentials, connected with trusted local organizations and Legacy experts, and received additional support, including free car seat vouchers, Pack 'n Plays and nursing pillows.
A special thank you to Women of Good Samaritan, in conjunction with the Good Samaritan Foundation, whose support helped bring this event to life. We're also grateful to our community partners, volunteers and Legacy caregivers for making the day such a success. We look forward to continuing this new tradition and supporting even more growing families in our community.
