Mothers' Milk Donation Center
|
The University of Utah Community Clinics are proud to announce the opening of the Salt Lake Mothers’ Milk Donation Center at the Redwood Health Center.
Our Center will serve as a screening and collection site for the non-profit Mothers’ Milk Bank in Denver, Colorado. Local nursing mothers wishing to donate excess milk can visit the Center to volunteer as donors. Volunteer milk donors will complete a screening process similar to that for blood donors including a blood test. Accepted donors will collect and freeze their milk at home and then bring donations to the Center for shipping on dry ice to the Mothers’ Milk Bank in Denver.
At the milk bank, the donated milk is pooled and pasteurized before distribution by prescription to ill and premature infants throughout the region.
The Mothers’ Milk Bank in Denver is a member of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, a non-profit organization of human milk banks dedicated to establishing and setting the standards for human milk banking.
The Salt Lake Mothers' Milk Donation Center is financially supported by the Herbert I. and Elsa B. Michael Foundation.
