Vision:
Every baby has a healthy start.
Mission:
To improve the health of Oklahoma babies through safe donor milk.
Oklahoma has one of the highest rates of preterm births in the nation, with one in seven babies born premature (~14%). The use of human milk increases the survival and development of these babies.
Additional OMMB goals include:
- educating families and the medical community about the health impact of human milk
- supporting breastfeeding families
- providing information to the medical community about milk banking and the use of pasteurized donor milk
- encouraging research on the use of human milk
