Community agencies that were represented through resource tables included the Extension SNAP-Ed Program, United Healthcare, Anthem Medicaid, Lincoln Trail District Health Department, Passport, Spring Haven, Head Start, Humana Healthy Horizons, Career Center, House of Hope, Silverleaf, Communicare and Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency. Twenty-four expecting parents registered. Fifty-six people attended the baby shower including participants, guests, community partners and presenters.
