Hendricks Regional Health is proud to facilitate and host a variety of support groups for new and expecting parents. Groups are designed to provide a supportive environment with opportunities to come together for sharing and learning. All meetings are free to participants, and registration is not required unless specified.
Due to COVID-19 and the associated inability to meet in person, many of our support groups are now being offered virtually or by phone. Please call (317) 718-4360 for more information.
