Congratulations, I know how hard it is to achieve baby friendly  
status.  I am sure too that the hard work will continue.

Now I must add that it totally slipped my mind that BC Women's  
hospital in Vancouver Canada passed its assessment in July.
it was officially announced in the media last month.  A huge amount of  
work and collaboration went into this.  It took years of making small  
changes.  BC Women's is the tertiary care center for the province, as  
well as community hospital and does over 7,000 births a year.
