Equipoise Healthcare will begin to offer in-person classes for a variety of common medical and parenting topics for $25 per person. Classes will begin in January and will be held at our office. Group size will be limited to 15 participants per class. We welcome any adults who want to learn, as well as teens who are old enough to begin learning about their own health. You don't have to be a patient here in order to sign up, however, RSVP will be required!

Since it's hard to focus with little kids running around, you may be better served by having little ones stay home with another adult. However, we are a pediatric clinic literally built for kids. So if you need to bring your little one, we can handle that.

Leave a comment with which of the following topics you'd like to attend:

Newborns
Early childhood development
Fever
Asthma
Allergies
Eczema
Living as an immunocompromised person
Sleep problems in kids
Constipation
Connective tissue disorders
Vaccines
Upper respiratory infections
Nausea and vomiting
Ear infections
Iron
Autism
ADHD
