Description of Services: The Parent Support Group is for anyone who has had a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, or newborn death and meets the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm. This is a self-help support group which is facilitated by a Baptist Health Lexington perinatal bereavement support person. There is not a fee to participate, the group is available to anyone regardless of provider, hospital where care was received or length of time since loss. We are currently holding our support group meetings via Zoom and plan to do the same throughout the winter months with hopes to return to in-person meetings in the spring. Until in-person meetings resume invitations with the meeting link will be sent to families as requested.
We hold a Walk to Remember the second Sunday of each October (in-person) and a Candlelight Memorial Service the first Tuesday of each December (hybrid – virtual and in-person). These are also open to anyone who would like to participate.
