10 years of helping moms and babies

We are proud to recognize four hospitals for having celebrated 10 years of earning the High 5 for Mom & Baby recognition.

High 5 Program Coordinator Cara Gerhardt, BSN, RN, IBCLC, recognized the 10-year anniversaries of these hospitals at the 2024 Kansas Breastfeeding Conference in October.

These hospitals include:

The High 5 for Mom & Baby program is a Health Fund initiative that connects hospitals and birthing centers to policies and practices that improve breastfeeding outcomes.

Breastfeeding makes a significant impact on the health of moms and babies, and hospitals and birthing centers play a crucial role in the initiation and successful continuation of breastfeeding after leaving their facility.

Completing the High 5 for Mom & Baby program requires an investment of time and resources by participating hospitals and birthing centers. It demonstrates their commitment to infant and maternal health by supporting breastfeeding success.

We are proud to recognize and honor these hospitals for making that commitment to the moms, babies and families in their communities.
