Last month, Valley Coastal Bend hosted two baby showers, one in Corpus Christi West Point VA Clinic and one in Harlingen VA Health Care Center for the RGV area, to give expecting Veterans a welcoming place to connect, ask questions and gather essentials for the months ahead.

Thanks to the generous support of community partners and staff who contributed items like diapers, wipes, baskets and baby‑care essentials, each Veteran left with practical resources and a little extra peace of mind as they prepare for their new arrival.

If you’re an expecting Veteran and want help navigating pregnancy, appointments or postpartum support, connect with the VCB Women Veterans Maternity Coordinator at 855‑864‑0516 for guidance tailored to you.
