Nursing mothers and families seeking advice and support will soon have a new resource: a new lactation clinic within Cone Health’s MedCenter for Women, a joint venture between North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University’s lactation certificate program and Cone Health.

The clinic will open on March 15 and will be staffed primarily by students and graduates from the lactation certificate program, which is a part of the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. Their target audience: families of color who want to breastfeed or chestfeed their infants.
