Virginia Mason Franciscan Health Childbirth & Parenting Classes

Virginia Mason Franciscan Health offers in-person and online childbirth, breastfeeding-preparation, newborn-care, and infant-safety classes connected with St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma. Some classes are free and others charge a modest fee.

Registration help is available by phone in Spanish, and breastfeeding classes are offered in English and Spanish. That language access is the reason to choose this path if English-only hospital classes are a barrier.

Confirm which titles are free this season before you budget, then register early for Spanish-language breastfeeding seats if those fill faster.
