SHIP Funding Available for Breastfeeding Support
August is World Breastfeeding Month, and one of the many strategies The Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP) for Brown, Nicollet, LeSueur and Waseca Counties can support for employers is breastfeeding.
SHIP has grant funding available for employers that wish to support the implementation of designated breastfeeding rooms. Allowable expenses can include chairs/rockers, tables, bulletin boards, lamps, portable locks, portable partitions/screens, mirror, small refrigerator for breastmilk, breast pumps, signage and paint for repainting breastfeeding rooms.
For more information, contact Melissa Hoffmann at Melissa.Hoffmann@co.brown.mn.us.
