National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Day Memorial Walk

In honor of National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Day, Hugs for Healing Hearts ( A support service of St. Clair Hospital) is hosting the 5th annual National Pregnancy and Infant Loss memorial walk and service.

Join others who wish to take time to honor and memorialize the babies that have died either during pregnancy or after birth.  The event is free to all friends and families who have experienced a pregnancy or infant loss - no matter when the loss occurred.  

Events include a short memorial walk (meet in front of the Recreation Center at 955am), and a short memorial service with a time for refreshments after the ceremony.  In years past, attendees have stayed after the service to walk the beautiful nature trails and enjoy the crisp autumn day.

Please RSVP by e-mailing Debra Carse, RNC,MSN at debra.carse@stclair.org with the number of adults and children who will be attending as well as the name(s) and birth dates of those whom you would like recognized in the program.
