Remember the milk banks that closed after 1981, when HIV was

~~ I wish I could call where we are "recovered". We still have not one
milk bank in NYC and environs ( there used to be ONE) or even in the entire
state. Look how few are in the entire USA...

Several of my colleagues worked for years here trying to find even one MD
would get on board and help make it happen and got nowhere. I think they
finally gave up. Wouldn't it be amazing if there were as many milk banks as
blood banks? ( Or as many as needed, whatever that would look like...)
