ALPENA — The community is invited to learn about a new childbirth program and expanded clinical spaces at MyMichigan Medical Center Alpena during an upcoming open house, according to a MyMichigan Health press release on Wednesday.

The free event will be held on June 2 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. and will feature information on the new CenteringPregnancy® Program, guided tours of updated facilities, a meet-n-greet with health care providers and staff, as well as light refreshments.

“Our June open house is an opportunity for the community to see firsthand how we are growing and evolving to better serve Alpena and surrounding areas,” Mike Erickson, market president of MyMichigan Medical Centers Alpena, Saginaw, Standish, Tawas, and Towne Centre, said in the release. “We are proud to introduce new prenatal care options and showcase improved environments that support the health and well-being of our patients.”
