Community Programs

At Community Hospital of San Bernardino, we believe strongly in helping the community become more educated when it comes to their health and well-being. Our Health Education Center, located at 1725 Western Avenue, offers a variety of health classes, events and resources for families.

Childbirth Education

Parenting Education

Breast-feeding & Newborns

Breast-feeding Support Group
Although breast-feeding is a natural process, many women struggle in the first few months to feel comfortable and confident with their decision. Community Hospital's breast-feeding support group, "Mothers Helping Mothers," offers moms the opportunity to share their experiences, struggles and triumphs with other breast-feeding mothers in a warm and welcoming environment.
