What do they do/Who are they?  

The University of California Health Milk Bank is a nonprofit donor human milk bank dedicated to ensuring medically vulnerable infants have access to safe, pasteurized donor human milk. They support families, hospitals, and community partners through milk donation, education, and equitable lactation resources. 

How do they partner with CCH?  

UC Health Milk Bank partners with CCH to expand equitable access to human milk by increasing community awareness, supporting local milk drives, and connecting families with lactation and nutrition resources. Together, they advance maternal and child health initiatives and broaden culturally relevant education on the benefits of donor milk. The partnership strengthens regional efforts to reduce health disparities among newborns and their families.   

Quote from Partner or from CCH Staff:  

I just helped organize a tour of the Milk Bank for County HHSA staff and they loved it! By the end of the tour, we were thinking of all sorts of ways that the Milk Bank, COI, and the County could partner on projects.”
