Community partnerships
improve the health and well being of all
Kane residents.
The
Kane County
Breastfeeding Coalition is an
essential health partnership to help
achieve the 2030 Kane County health
vision:
“To have the
healthiest residents in Illinois!” |
| |
The Coalition is formed
by participants from diverse aspects of
the community, including the local
hospitals, community health centers, WIC
Programs, the Kane County health
department, private lactation
consultants, community groups that
promote breastfeeding, and others.
Community members are welcome to join us
as we meet monthly to increase the
proportion of infants that are breastfed
throughout the county. |
| |
|
Mission |
| The mission of the Kane
County Breastfeeding Coalition is to
engage all interested community members
in improving health by making
breastfeeding information and support
available to new parents. The goal is to
help parents make informed choices about
breastfeeding as early as possible
during pregnancy and to support that
choice as soon as the baby is born. |
