Carolina Complete Health’s Community Baby Showers connected approximately 205 participants with education, resources and support for expectant and new parents across North Carolina.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Approximately 205 participants attended Carolina Complete Health Community Baby Showers in six North Carolina communities on Sept. 2. The events connected expectant and new parents with maternal and infant health education, practical resources and community support.
Families gathered at Carolina Complete Health Community Connections Centers in Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro, Greenville, Lumberton and Raleigh. They connected with local organizations and learned about resources that support healthy pregnancies, newborn care and a child’s first year of life.
“When families can find trusted health information, community resources and practical support in one place, it can be easier to know where to turn during pregnancy and a child’s early years,” said Lori Keane, Director of Marketing, Communications and Community Relations at Carolina Complete Health. “These events give families opportunities to ask questions, meet local organizations and connect with resources in their communities.”
Carolina Complete Health Community Baby Showers provide families with education and resources about prenatal care, breastfeeding, newborn care, nutrition and food assistance. Families can also learn about the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and other community-based services. Depending on the location, events may include car seat safety demonstrations, home safety education, giveaways and essential items for growing families.
The initiative serves families throughout Carolina Complete Health’s service area, including people who are not health plan members. The six events included participation from 17 community partners, expanding the range of local services and support available to families.
As North Carolina’s largest Medicaid plan, Carolina Complete Health connects individuals and families with resources that support their health beyond a provider’s office. Through its Community Connections Centers and partnerships with local organizations, the health plan is expanding access to health education, community resources and family support across the state.
