New York Statewide Breastfeeding Coalition 2025 Board Members

The NYSBC is an organization made up of lactation consultants, health care providers, regional breastfeeding coalitions and the major statewide maternal and child health organizations.

Mission Statement: The mission of the NYSBC is to support and protect breastfeeding and human milk feeding to improve health outcomes.  

Vision Statement: Every family in NY can make an informed decision about feeding their infant and has access to comprehensive lactation education, care, and support to meet their infant's feeding goals.

Equity Statement: The NYSBC is committed to improving health equity by reducing barriers to human milk feeding through policy, system, and environmental changes. We collaboratively address challenges - including those rooted in historical injustices and caused by other barriers to care - that impact families' ability to meet their infant feeding goals. Equity is not a separate goal; it is embedded in all we do. We hold ourselves accountable through continuous learning, transparency, and in partnership with the communities that we serve.
