Berman, staff obstetrician. Four one-hour sessions will be held each Tuesday, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The course will be repeated in alternate flionths. Lectures a n d discussions will be augmented,.by visual aids in presenting four major subjects; female anatomy, the pregnancy period, delivery, and care of the baby. Dr. Berman will be assisted by Dr. Peter Griesbach. staff pediatrician,' who will conduct the session on baby care. Dr. Berman believes that besides being instructive,- the course will be helpful in dispelling fears of pregnancy, enabling the mother-to-be to undergo a more pleasant experience. This is especially important in first preganeies, he stated. Group discusions of childbirth often bring to light facts about which an individual would not think of asking or want to ask. he added. Hospital officials expect to break ground for a new eighteen bed building within the next thirty days. This structure. which will cost approximately $300,000, will include a m a t e r n i t y d e p a r t m e n t w i t h eight beds, a delivery room, two labor rooms, nursery and related facilities.
