Hospital Birthing Center Schedules Celebration

Posted Thursday, July 28, 2011

Newport Hospital’s Noreen Stonor Drexel Birthing Center invites current and former breastfeeding support group members, and their babies and children, to a celebration of World Breastfeeding Week on Thursday, August 4, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. in the hospital courtyard, just off the lobby.

The support group marks its 16th anniversary and encourages new mothers to stay connected, and “Staying Connected” is the theme of the International Lactation Consultant Association for this year’s World Breastfeeding Week. The celebration will include an open house in the hospital’s courtyard.

Group members who are unable to attend are invited to send their thoughts on the support group to the birthing center’s lactation office at Newport Hospital, 11 Friendship Street, Newport, RI 02840.
