Studies have shown that breastfeeding can reduce infant hospitalizations and pediatrician visits.

We are certified by The Joint Commission for excellence in advanced perinatal care, which is the time before, during, and after childbirth. In addition, all of ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ’s inpatient facilities are Magnet® certified, which is the gold standard for nursing excellence. We also earn the highest ratings from the Leapfrog Hospital Safety grade.
