Hello to everyone. I just joined the LACTNET listserve last week and am amazed at the activity with this group! This should prove to be very rewarding. My name is Debbie McClurg-Hitt. I'm from Missouri and work for the Health Department as the breastfeeding coordinator. In the past my primary role has been working with the WIC Program. Now my role has expanded to the general population. This fall we are piloting a breastfeeding peer counselor program at 14 local agency WIC sites. It's based on the train-the-trainer approach. All the coordinators at the sites have been trained and are ready and willing to get started. It should prove to be a fun and rewarding experience. Currently, I'm not hooked up at my PC to Internet, so our librarian has graciously let me use his ID. I'm glad to see this group has been put on the Internet. It should be a lot of help for me and it's encouraging to read some of the comments I've read. Looking forward to seeing you "netters" at the ILCA conference. Debbie McClurg-Hitt, RD, LC
