Education  
We are committed to excellence in education and offer healthcare professionals and the public a wide range of training programs. Training also is available to the public for Heartsaver First Aid, Basic Life Support and Safe Sitters.

Childbirth Education   
The Childbirth Education Department is here to help you and your family prepare for childbirth and beyond. We offer a variety of classes and services to give you the information and assistance you will need. Classes are taught by Labor and Delivery nurses and certified healthcare professionals. Early registration is recommended, as classes fill up quickly.

Diabetes Education, Prevention, and Support Groups
Our program offers education and training in diabetes prevention and self-management for the newly diagnosed or those living with long-term diabetes by certified diabetes educators. Classes are available at both Flagstaff Medical Center and Verde Valley Medical Center campuses.   

Cancer Center
Because cancer is a family disease, support groups offer families and friends an opportunity to share their feelings and ideas about the journey when a loved one has cancer. Sometimes just knowing others are having a similar experience can be both comforting and healing.

Bariatric Surgical Weight Loss Center
These support groups are open to all bariatric patients, regardless of where they have had surgery. We encourage patients planning on surgery to attend at least one support group prior to surgery. There also are free Information Sessions available.

Spine and Joint Center
The Spine and Joint Surgery Center offers free weekly Education Seminars for patients scheduled to have joint replacement surgery. FMC's orthopedic surgeons highly recommend this seminar to better prepare patients and their families for their upcoming surgery.

Therapy and Wellness  
The Physical, Occupational, Speech and Massage Therapy Departments at FMC are here to help patients improve their quality of life. Whether it is recovering from an illness or an injury, or wanting to be in top condition for sports, career or your day-to-day life, we can offer inpatients and outpatients the treatment options, education and support they need.
