Mothers' Milk Bank California Honoring NICU Awareness Month: 50 Years of Strength and Hope Supporting NICU Families: This September, we shine a light on the incredible journeys of NICU families and the power of human connection that helps them thrive. Did you know? A study published in Pediatrics found that infants fed donor human milk had a 77% lower risk of NEC, a serious intestinal condition. Donor breast milk is a vital lifeline for these tiny fighters, providing the perfect balance of nutrients and antibodies to support their growth and development. Mothers' Milk Bank California has been a leader in milk donation for 50 years, collecting, processing, and distributing this life-saving resource to NICUs nationwide. You can make a difference! By donating breast milk, you're helping to give NICU babies the best possible chance at a healthy future. Join the Mothers' Milk Bank community and donate today! Together, we can create a brighter future for NICU babies.

Thank you Lauren Morgan! Your liquid gold is giving fragile babies the best possible start in Life. Thank you for setting such a wonderful example of selflessness.

We were thrilled to partner with Mothers' Milk Bank California to host the first known organized Milk Drive in San Francisco today. So far, we collected more than 1,500 oz of milk – and counting! Just two tablespoons of human milk can help a baby in need thrive and just one quarter of an ounce amounts to one feeding in the NICU. This milk will go to babies and family across the nation.     We are grateful to all the donors who participated and those who stopped by to ask questions or to share their support in providing equitable care for all. Shout out to our Labor and Delivery team for their leadership!

Mothers' Milk Bank California set the standard for the collection, processing, and distribution of human milk and it celebrates its 50th Anniversary this year. I am delighted to have worked with this group since starting with HCA Healthcare two years ago.

We're excited to share that our member, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center , has partnered with Mothers' Milk Bank California to host a milk drive, aiming to provide essential nourishment for babies in need. This partnership exemplifies the dedication of our public health systems to ensuring that all infants have the resources they need to thrive. We're proud to support such vital initiatives that make a real difference in our communities. #PublicHealth #CAPHMember #MilkDrive #HealthyBabies https://lnkd.in/gwyXNT5K
