Also offered at Johnson County Hospital is Lamaze Childbirth Teaching. These classes are offered to help parents be as prepared as they possibly can be for birth and beyond. This is a refreshingly fun and down to earth way to gain that all important information.

The course is suitable for anyone who is going to have a baby. The beauty of a Lamaze course is that it provides refreshingly sound advice that benefits first timers and existing parents. The ideal time to attend is between 28 and 34 weeks of your pregnancy. This course is aimed at you and your birthing partner (partner, friend, parent or other relative) although you are more than welcome to attend on your own.

Courses are offered quarterly and consist of four evening classes, each two hours in length, starting at 6:00 pm. The Lamaze International trained instructors are:

Shana Carter, MS, LCCE
Mary Jane Glade, MS, LCCE

For more information or to register for classes, call Shalen Keeler at Johnson County Hospital: (402) 335-3361. Or visit the Births R Us website at www.birthsrus.com.

Cardiac Rehab

The goal of cardiac rehabilitation is to return the patient to the optimal level of functioning following either a coronary artery bypass or a heart attack (myocardial infarction). With rehab you also get the benefit of a professional educating the patient concerning diet, exercise, smoking cessation, relaxation skills and medication issues. The program can run anywhere from six to eight weeks, depending upon your insurance carrier and is available with a doctor’s orders. Individualized Cardiac Rehabilitation is available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. To enroll in Cardiac Rehab call Delores Othmer at (402) 335-3361.
