The W.O. Frohring Family Resource Center
Part of Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, this center has a resource library with information on parenting, breastfeeding, sibling relationships and much more. Materials may be borrowed for a limited time within the hospital, and copying services are available.
Patients who have recently given birth at MacDonald Women’s Hospital find the library to be an excellent source on topics relating to newborns and their parents. The Frohring Family Resource Center supports a caring and effective partnership between families and their healthcare team by providing general assistance on baby care and health-related issues. You can learn more about the Center on the Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital website. Community residents are also welcome to visit or call the center for information.

Removal of warts
Question:
Can warts be safely removed without seeing a dermatologist?
Answer:
Over-the-counter (OTC) medications containing salicylic acid are often effective in removing warts. Keeping a wart loosely covered with duct tape for many weeks may also help it to disappear. However, any wart that does not respond to OTC treatments should be examined by a dermatologist. See warts.
