In 1997, the perinatal networks came together to form the Association of Perinatal Networks of NY. The purpose of the APN is to highlight the benefits and improvements many NYS communities have experienced as a result of the individual perinatal networks and to broaden the awareness of continuing perinatal health needs in NYS. www.associationofperinatalnetworks.org
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has many services that support breastfeeding for mothers and families living within the metropolitian area. Read more about their services on their website. http://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/health/health-topics/breastfeeding.page
