Car Seat Safety Check
Because vehicles and infant car seat styles vary, learning how to position your infant car seat securely isn’t easy. Fortunately, expert help is available. Join Mississippi SafeKids and Baptist for Women for a car seat safety check. Professionals can teach you how to install your car seat properly and also check your already-installed car seat to see if it is positioned correctly.
Date: Saturday, July 12
Time: Noon to 2 p.m., come and go
Cost: Free
Place: Colonnades Medical Office Building parking lot
To register, call the Baptist Health Line at 601-948-6262 or 1-800-948-6262.
Lunch & Learn: Freedom from Bladder Leaking: You Don’t Have to Live This Way
Incontinence is a common, but troublesome, problem that affects many women.

But, there’s good news about urinary incontinence: many conditions that cause it can be treated without requiring hospitalization. Join Baptist and guest speakers Dr. Robert L. Harris and Dr. Steven E. Speights, both urogynecologists, for this free seminar to learn more about the types and causes of incontinence and new treatments available. Lunch is provided for those who register.
