Lactation counseling helps new mothers and infants by giving them the support they need to start a healthy life.
Learning opportunities beginning at birth, parenting education, counseling and patient support through every stage of pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum experience are made possible through gifts to the Foundation.
The SHARE program lends support, comfort and counseling to those families who suffer the loss of a child through miscarriage, neonatal death or stillbirth. The Wellness Fund supports programming so that parents who suffer from this kind of loss can find the comfort and mutual support from others who have gone through the experience of losing a child.
