Hi everyone, a friend and former client asked me to forward this to all of you and see if she could get some assistance with a proposal she is writing for a class she is taking. She is also looking for a contact in Israel (Jeresalem). She is an amazing smart young woman, that I have enjoyed working with and speaking to over the last year. You may contact her directly (please cc me so I know she receives the info), or you can email me directly @ [log in to unmask] Thank you all, Donna B. Kimick,IBCLC, RLC Fwded from Ariel Neuman:: I am a student at columbia university and i am taking a class on health policy, one of our assignments is to write a proposal for insurance reimbursment for a particular issue. i am writing on the reimbursment of a preventative program to help prevent mastitis in breastfeeding women, i was wondering though if anyone could provide me with information as to a general idea of how many cases of mastitis are prevented by seeing a lactation consultant, it says in the literature that between 3.8% and 9.5% of women who have vaginal deliveries get mastitis. but to be cost effective i need to know how many of those could be prevented if a lactation consultant was involved (could be a gross estimate based on your expertise if dont have a number from the literature) On another note, i am planning on being in israel next year, and i was wondering if anyone knew how i could get in thouch with a lactation consultant who i could work with to get my hours to become a lactation consultant or any other resources that would be helpful while there (i will be in jerusalem) thank you all for your time, ariella neuman [log in to unmask] *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
