10. Panel of Experts! Our panel of experts covers everything from KIDS to KEGELS! No joke!
The experts from Nemours Children’s Primary Care is helping to answer the question, “To Immunize or Not to Immunize, That is the Question.”
Dr. Lacy is the Medical Director for the Nemours Children’s Primary Care Network, and is a Board Certified Pediatrician and has been a practicing pediatrician in the Orlando area for more than 25 years. You’ll have the opportunity to talk to him about your questions and concerns!
Urogyn Specialists of Florida, an award-winning, boutique practice for women, is led by nationally respected physician Dr. Christopher Walker, who is a a double-board certified OB/GYN Urogynecologist and Cosmetic Gynecologist. After baby or with age, this go-to practice is ready to help you restore what childbirth and age have taken away as 1 in 3 women deal with embarrassing leaky bladders when they cough, sneeze, exercise or prevent exercising. The specialists at Urogyn are sure to answer the questions we’ve always WANTED to ask, but we’ve never had the courage to ask!

Because you deserve a night out!
*Please Note: This event is geared towards new and expectant moms although spouses are welcome (with a ticket!) Due to space constraints, children UNDER one years old must be worn in a carrier or held as there is no room for strollers at this event. We ask that children over the age of ONE not attend. The reason for capping off the event at 50 attendees is solely for the limitations of space in the venue.
Need to nurse? No problem! There are plenty of comfy couches and chairs at Downtown Credo to nurse your little ones during the event!
We encourage you to keep up with our Facebook Event Page for all the details, and we can’t wait to see you there!
