This will be the 22nd drop off site in the state.
The site will house a freezer to store donated milk from approved donors before it gets transferred to the milk bank in Columbus.
The OhioHealth Mothers’ Milk Bank provides human milk to those infants whose parents are unable to provide milk to nourish their babies.This new site will become the 22nd drop-off location in the state.“We are thrilled to be opening this new milk drop to make donating even easier,” said Chris Smith, RN, IBCLC, outreach coordinator and lactation consultant at the milk bank in a press release.
If you are interested in becoming a donor, you can email [email protected] or call 614.566.0630 to arrange a screening phone interview. To become a donor, you must take part in a screening process to ensure the quality and safety of the milk. This process includes a phone screening to verify eligibility, completion of a medical and lifestyle history review, a signed medical release from the donor and physician, and consent to receive a blood test to screen for HIV, HTLV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and syphilis.
