Support Groups
The availability of these support groups are subject to change. Please contact the program for details.
Bariatric Support Group
The Bariatric Support Group is open to all people that are overweight and for individuals who have had bariatric surgery. You do not have to be a patient with TMH Physician Partners - Endocrinology, Obesity & Diabetes to attend. The group meets via Zoom once a month. For more information, call 850-431-4046.
Breastfeeding Support Group
This free breastfeeding support group meets once a week and is led by a certified lactation consultant. It is open to anyone in the community and offers a casual environment for moms and babies to connect with each other. Because measuring how much milk a baby receives can be a challenge when breastfeeding, we provide an infant scale to weigh a baby before and after feeding.
This venue also provides a social outlet for moms during their transition after delivery. Breastfeeding support groups take place every Wednesday from 10:30 am - noon on the Family Care Unit inside our Alexander D. Brickler, MD Women's Pavilion. Groups are open to moms and babies.
Questions? Call 850-431-4928.
