Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett and the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce marked the hospital's recently acquired baby-friendly designation with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the hospital's women's center last month.
Baby Friendly USA is the accrediting body for the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative. A global program for the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the initiative is designed to set the standards for the best possible breast-feeding support for mother and infant in the maternity setting.
