Since more than one of you has asked for the names of hospitlas who are
purchaing formula, here goes.

Contact Molly Pessl at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, WA (sorry, no email
address that I know of).

Also, I believe that Methodist Hospital in Minneapolis, MN also is
purchasing their formula (again, no e-mail address); address your letter
the Maternity Supervisor, Mother-Baby Unit and it will get to the right
person.

AND, I think I heard that Grady Hospital (Atlanta, GA) also is doing so.
If that is in fact true, it is a level 3 hospital with LOTS of low-income
moms, the sort of population many people assume can not possibly go without
formula freebies.  Check it out.

Good luck with your efforts and let us all know the outcome of your work.
