Charlton Memorial Hospital has been named as a baby-friendly birth facility by Baby-Friendly USA, Inc., joining 569 U.S. hospitals and birth centers that have received the designation to date.
Part of a global program sponsored by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund, Baby-Friendly USA recognizes organizations that encourage breast feeding and offer outstanding care for breastfeeding mothers and their babies.
“Baby Friendly designation is a very special accomplishment that we are all very proud of for many reasons. It is a special designation, first and foremost, as it is the very best way to treat, educate, and support our families,” said Jennifer Bloom, nurse manager of Charlton’s family centered unit.
