For OneWorld prenatal patients, the Baby Boutique is more than a room in the Women’s Health clinic. It’s an opportunity to shop for essential baby items without the stress and worry of cost. In 2022, the Baby Boutique had record numbers of both shoppers and baby essentials distributed. In response to the increase in need, OneWorld has expanded operating hours to include Fridays from 10a.m.-2p.m.
