Congratulations to Southview for their Baby-Friendly recertification for 2013 – 2018. Southview has achieved the standards outlined in the most current Baby-Friendly USA Guidelines and Evaluation Criteria.
Currently, 172 U.S. hospitals and birthing centers in 40 states and the District of Columbia hold the Baby-Friendly designation. Every hospital that attains the Baby-Friendly designation moves us closer to reaching the Healthy People 2020 goal of increasing the proportion of live births that occur in facilities that provide recommended care for lactating mothers and their babies.
