Hannibal Regional is committed to the health and well-being of the community that we serve, extending care beyond traditional medical services by offering free support groups. These groups provide essential guidance, support, and education to patients, their families, and our own team members. Ongoing support groups include:

Accountability Support Group:
The Accountability Support Group provides a foundation to help implement and maintain healthy lifestyle choices. Topic areas that are discussed include fitness, nutrition, mental health and so much more. This support group meets every Thursday from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm in the Sunroom.

Breastfeeding Support Group:
The Breastfeeding Support Group provides an opportunity to enjoy the support and suggestions of other breastfeeding mothers, get questions answered and check your baby's weight. One of our board-certified lactation consultants will be there to help answer questions. The group meets twice each week in the OB Classroom at Hannibal Regional Hospital on Monday evenings at 5:00 pm and Wednesday mornings at 10:00 am. For questions, call 573-248-5161.

Stroke Support Group:
Life after a stroke often brings new challenges for stroke survivors, their families, and caregivers.
