I think there are already WIC LCs going to hospitals.  Way back in  
1988, I was hired by WIC in Florida to work as an LC.  I went to the  
hospital  3-4 times a week (I even had my own office - a converted  
closet) to spread the good word about breastfeeding and help the  
mothers who wanted to breastfeed. It was Florida's only indigent  
hospital and has since closed, but at the time, I saw great success  
with initiation rates and duration. I also did home visits when  
necessary.  It was quite fulfilling work.

WIC does A LOT, in my opinion to promote breastfeeding. They are  
often maligned. I say applaud them for what they do.
