Mercyhealth and Molina Healthcare of Illinois will host a free, drive-thru community baby shower for new and expecting mothers and their families. The event will take place Tuesday, September 22, 5-7 pm, at Javon Bea Hospital–Rockton, 2300 N. Rockton Avenue, Rockford. Signs on the Rockton Campus will direct guests to the event.
From the convenience of their vehicles, guests will receive free baby essentials such as diapers, wipes, baby lotion, diaper rash cream, face masks, soap and more. Guests will also meet Mercyhealth’s women and children’s staff and Molina Healthcare staff to learn about important health services.
In June 2020, Mercyhealth announced an agreement with Molina Healthcare to serve Medicaid members in the northern Illinois region. This means, Mercyhealth Illinois Medicaid patients who have Molina Healthcare insurance will continue to have full in-network access to its integrated hospitals, physicians and services including specialty pediatric and obstetric services, primary care and adult services.
This free event will be on first-come, first-serve basis. Items will be placed in trunk to follow social distancing guidelines. For more information, visit mercyhealthsystem.org.
