(August is National Breastfeeding Awareness month)…PMH is wrapping up the month with an inaugural celebration.

Pioneers Memorial Healthcare District is hosting the event on Friday between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Live, Love, Latch will be held at Pioneers Memorial Hospital. The National Month began in 2011 when it was first established by the United States Breastfeeding Committee. The annual campaign aims to bring awareness to the importance of breastfeeding both for the newborn and their mothers. The PMH event will celebrate nursing mothers with a lunch and other activities. Local physicians and healthcare providers in the Imperial Valley will also attend the event.
