Birthing Classes

Driscoll Health Plan members who have given birth within the last 90 days are eligible to attend one of our Parenting Classes. All eligible members who attend a Parenting Class will receive a $20* gift card/incentive.

Please bring your Driscoll Health Plan ID card. Baby does not need to be present. 

We kindly ask that all participants please arrive on time.

For more information, call 1 (877) 324-7543.

Driscoll Health Plan is making changes to keep our members and staff safe. For this reason, there will be no community parenting classes until further notice. Instead, our team will be providing virtual parenting classes.

Please call us at 1-877-324-7543, before your baby turns 90 days old, so our team can schedule you for a virtual parenting class. A reservation is required at least 2 days prior to the virtual class date. A Health Education Specialist will register you and provide you with a Zoom link.
