Prenatal Visits Each PIP clinic offers a time for expectant parents to meet with a pediatric health care provider. The provider will discuss what to expect when you bring your new baby home, the schedule for routine health care visits and immunizations, and what to watch for when your child is ill. There will be plenty of time for you to ask questions also. There is no charge for this visit.
Parents are welcome to come whether they are anticipating the birth of a new baby or expanding their family through adoption. Click here for a schedule of prenatal visits at the clinic most convenient for you.
