Hi All'

Congratulations to Molly Pessel and Evergreen Hospital for their recent
success.  Molly Pessel and been a great inspiration and support to us here is
southern N.H.  We have set up a Post-partum Care Center and Lactation
Services  in the last year.  I would love to see us become baby friendly and
would be interested in networking with other professionals who work for
Columbia/HCA  institutions.  I think that change very often has to come from
the top down and I have this fantasy that  corporate will come down with a
mandate to stop accepting free formula and for all facilities to comply with
the ten steps.  I know the OB clinical coor will NOT do this , and I quote,
"We decided not to become baby friendly, we don't want to be known as a
breastfeeding hospital."  I wonder if she knows how awful that sounds?

Anyone out there working for this corporation and interested in networking?

Jane-in beautiful, colorful N.H.  I love this time of year!
