WHO WE ARE

Mission
The mission of the Placer County Breastfeeding Coalition is to promote and support breastfeeding as a vital part of the health and development of children and their families in our communities.

​

Vision
To ensure breastfeeding is recognized as the normal method of infant and young child feeding in Placer County; all health care providers in Placer County will be knowledgeable about, promote, and provide support for breastfeeding; and every woman in Placer County will have access to the information, resources and community support necessary to breastfeed for as long as she wishes.


Goals

  • Improve the access for Placer County families to comprehensive, current, and culturally appropriate breastfeeding care and services.

  • Promote breastfeeding awareness and education for health care providers and agencies serving new mothers and their families.

  • Inform the public about the existence of breastfeeding support networks.
