Baby-Friendly US or Breastfeeding Friendly WA: funding opportunity for hospitals

Hospitals in your community can become Baby-Friendly USA or Breastfeeding Friendly Washington accredited at no cost!

EMPower Best Practices is a new initiative that provides training materials, stipends to offset staff training time, and tools and resources to help hospitals participate in the program. Hospitals must complete and submit an enrollment form by August 2, 2021. Space is limited.

We ask for your help in sharing this opportunity with hospitals in your communities! Visit EMPower Best Practices for program details.
