In a national survey by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Newport Hospital and a group of Rhode Island hospitals ranked third in the nation for hospital practices related to breastfeeding.
“It’s exciting to receive this national distinction for the support that we provide new moms and babies during the breastfeeding process,” said Crista F. Durand, president of Newport Hospital. “It comes at an exciting time, as we have been concentrating renewed energy and resources on our birthing center, which carries the prestigious Baby Friendly designation from the World Health Organization and UNICEF, and our OB/GYN program. Efforts have ranged from adding a new midwife and OB/GYN physicians – to renovating our birthing center space to provide a warm, welcoming, state-of-the-art environment for new moms, dads, babies and our dedicated, expert staff.”
The Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care (mPINC) survey by the CDC evaluates maternity care practices and policies and Newport Hospital was among Rhode Island’s five other birthing hospitals to participate in the 2013 survey, which showed the state attained an overall score of 86 out of 100.
