Event will focus on breastfeeding (The Reporter)

"Got Breastmilk?" is the theme of Kaiser Permanente's Vallejo Medical Center Open House Celebration.
Recognizing breast milk as the "gold standard" for infant nutrition, the center is hosting this special open house in conjunction with International Breastfeeding Week to recognize and educate new and expectant mothers on the importance of breastfeeding.

The open house will take place Aug. 3 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the courtyard near Pharmacy 1. Members of the community are invited to attend.

Breastfeeding is encouraged throughout the Kaiser Permanente system. Studies consistently have shown the practice of breastfeeding, in most cases, is healthier for the infant, providing many benefits not generally found in breast milk substitutes.
