“The Orange County Community Baby Shower is designed to be a fun and educational event that can connect parents and parents-to-be to helpful resources in their community,” said Whitney Zapien, BSN, RN, IU Health Paoli Hospital Clinical Manager. “It truly takes a village to raise a child, and we’re excited to be able to offer this opportunity to our community.”
