JONES COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, Winter 2023
The ‘Strategies to Improve Breastfeeding Outcomes in Jones County’ (and why it matters in the infant mortality conversation) clearly demonstrates evidenced based research. Jones County was the recipient of the Mother-Baby Award for Outpatient Clinics by the North Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition. The site visit team highlighted their insight to establish a breastfeeding room in the DSS section of the building to expand and promote and the benefits of breast feeding beyond the clinical area that includes the target population.
