NORTHEAST OHIO PERINATAL PROFESSIONAL NETWORK
Dr. Gesicki and the team at Cleveland Chiropractic and Integrative Health Center value community and saw the lack of community support among perinatal professionals in Northeast Ohio. We launched the Northeast Ohio Perinatal Professional Network in 2023. This network is for business owners and professionals who support those who are expecting and postpartum.
Meetings are the second Tuesday of the month (every other month) at our office in Brecksville. Join us for networking and community connection!
Upcoming Meetups:
October 13th: this is our Perinatal Professional Self-Care Night! Sign up for a service at the office + stay for snacks and connection. Reach out to the office to schedule: 216-952-3830 (call/text) or email info@clechiropractic.com
December 8th: this is out Holiday Party! We will have snacks & treats in addition to community & connection!
Staying Active in the Network:
Our goal is to create a connected, collaborative community rather than simply maintain a directory of names. To remain an active member of the network and be included in our professional directory, we ask members to participate in the community throughout the year by attending at least one network meetups per year and maintain an active connection with the community.
Want to be included in our network?
We would love to connect with you.
