Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis has achieved re-designation as a Baby-Friendly hospital following a rigorous review by Baby-Friendly USA, the organization responsible for the international certification in the United States. The hospital’s Center for Women and Families is one of only two hospitals in Oregon to hold the distinction. Nationwide, 437 facilities currently meet the criteria and more than 20,000 hospitals and birth centers hold the designation worldwide. “Our Center for Women and Families is committed to providing the support, education and resources moms need to successfully initiate breastfeeding and continue breastfeeding when they leave our care.” Baby-Friendly facilities are designed to support breastfeeding while respecting each woman’s right to make feeding decisions that work best for her and her family.
