South Lake Hospital Makes Breastfeeding a Priority.
South Lake Hospital is being recognized by the Florida Breastfeeding Coalition (FBC), a statewide coalition in partnership with several Florida agencies and registered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United States Breastfeeding Committee (USBC) by participating in FBC’s Baby Steps to Baby Friendly Hospital Florida Quest For Quality Maternity Care Award project. The hospital is one of the first hospitals in Lake County to prioritize mothers and babies by creating action plans that will improve the quality and support for mothers and babies giving birth in their hospital and answers one of the actions in the U.S. Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding. As well the Florida Department of Health supports this initiative, “The Florida Department of Health fully supports breastfeeding as a vital health activity,” said State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong. “We commend all hospitals and health care facilities that are working toward practicing the WHO/UNICEF Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding and encourage others to adopt these practices so that all mothers and newborns achieve the best health possible.”
