About this event

Join MercyOne for the 27th annual Walk to Remember, an event honoring the memory of babies lost to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth or newborn death.

Held in October as part of National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, the walk brings together families and communities to raise awareness of perinatal grief and promote compassionate care for those experiencing the loss of a baby.

Sponsored by MercyOne’s Perinatal Bereavement Team, family, friends and children are welcome to attend a short remembrance service followed by a walk, carousel rides and refreshments.

Location:
Union Park Heritage Carousel
1801 Pennsylvania Ave
Des Moines, IA

In case of inclement weather, the event will be held in the MercyOne East Tower Auditorium.
