Breastfeeding support comes in many forms in our community. The lay counselor, the solo practitioner, the nurse in a doctor's office, community outreach programs and hospital based services are all ways in which we foster the common goal: to help families have a positive breastfeeding experience. As the structure of health care continues to change, patient care becomes a cooperative effort of these many different systems.
Would you like to share your expertise, your successes, your frustrations, as well as your hopes and dreams for breastfeeding with others who also devote their time and energy to this cause? If so we would like to invite you to an organizational meetin of Oregon Lactation Association(OLA).
OLA is an informal group of lactation professionals who have come together in an attempt to create an organization that will provide networking in our area. As a fledgling group we would like to encourage you to participate in its development.
The evening should be fun. We are expecting a variety of regional speakers as well as a lively discussion of the future of this group. We've also allowed time for refreshments and networking.
Below you will find a survey that should help us to determine what the basic needs of this group might be. If you will be attending the meeting you may bring it with you that evening. If you are unable to attend but are interested in the group, please fill out your survey with any thoughts you might want to share and mail it to one of the addresses below. If you know of anyone that may not have received this invitation, but would be interested, please feel free to copy and distribute as needed.
Looking forward to meeting you,
