The Milk Bank Opens

The Milk Bank at the Women’s, Infants and Children’s center in the K21 Health Services Pavilion, 1515 Provident Drive, Warsaw, hosted a ceremony Monday morning. The new depot will allow approved donor mothers to drop off their milk donations, which are then sent to The Milk Bank’s pasteurization facility in Indianapolis and distributed to Neonatal Intensive Care Units across the region. Pictured (L to R) are, front row: Maria Lemler, WIC applications clerk; Crystal Fowler, WIC translator; Penny Martin, Kosciusko County WIC breastfeeding coordinator; Amber Rooney, WIC breast-feeding peer counselor; Janice O’Rourke, The Milk Bank executive director; Jenny Pemberton, Milk Bank specialist; back row: Lauren Duncan, The Milk Bank donor mother coordinator; Stephanie Kneller, WIC coordinator; Ginger Packer, OB-GYN director; and Hollie Felgar, WIC nutritionist and lactation consultant.
