Diane Spatz is one of the LCs at CHOP. PhD, RNC, FAAN. Helen M.Shearer
Term Chair Nutrition, Assoc. Professor, U of PA, Clinical Nurse
Specialist-Lactation @ CHOP. [log in to unmask] I hope this is correct
(I googled her :-)
Over the past few years she has initiated a wonderful program for BF at
CHOP. Something like 75 % of their babies go home breastfeeding (or some
incredible # like that.) How about this stat - 100-200 babies receiving
human milk on any given day!! It is a 425 bed hospital with 24,000
admissions yearly! Her presentation on how she changed the BF climate at
CHOP is simply impressive. And since CHOP is #1 ped hospital in US we can
only hope as CHOP goes, so goes all children's hosp in US :-)
