Lactation Lounge Project

Your contributions have made it possible to create six cozy and convenient Lactation Lounges for PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center employees who are nursing moms.

The lounges are located in:

 Family Birth Center

 PACU

 Tower 2 Surgery

 Tower 5

 2 South

 Diagnostic Imaging

One of our nurses, Laura, expressed her gratitude by saying, “Thank you for the update and warm touches to the Lactation Lounge. I used this space two years ago with my son, and it is so much more welcoming now as I pump for my daughter. I love my kids and love my job, and really appreciate a space where I feel supported in both of these roles. Thank you again!”

Holtzman Twins NICU Graduate Assessment Program

In 2021, Felipe was born at PeaceHealth Southwest at just 29 weeks gestational age. When he was released after 3 months in the NICU, a health issue left him at risk for delay in his motor skill development.

Felipe was placed in our donor-funded NICU Graduate Assessment program, which provides development screening, guidance, and access to resources and services that help ensure the best possible long-term outcomes for premie babies.

Now age 2, Felipe is a sweet, playful toddler who is walking, running and balancing well. He goes to physical therapy every week to continue working on his gross motor skills, and is working with a Head Start program to develop his language skills. Felipe’s great progress is due to his mother’s devotion, ongoing Spanish-based communications from our team, and the generosity of community members like you.

I will never finish thanking each one of the nurses for taking care of my son. Blessings to you, our family is very grateful to all of you.

— Dominga, Felipe’s Mom
