Baby-friendly
University Health is the first Baby-Friendly hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, and the second in Missouri as designated by the World Health Organization. Both University Health Lakewood Medical Center and University Health Truman Medical Center have this designation.
The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is a global program by WHO and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) launched in 1991 to encourage and recognize hospitals and birthing centers when they have implemented the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding. The steps promote breastfeeding as the generally preferred method for providing nutrition to newborns and infants.
