đź’™ A Comfortable Space for Nursing Mothers đź’™

Girard Medical Center would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to Derailed Commodity for generously donating a brand-new recliner for our hospital’s Lactation Room!

Creating a safe, clean, comfortable, and private space for nursing mothers is an important priority for GMC. Our centrally located Lactation Room will provide staff members and visitors with a designated place to pump or breastfeed while at work or visiting our hospital.

The room will feature a comfortable reclining chair, bedside table, sink, and countertop—all designed to create a private, relaxing, and welcoming environment.

Thanks to the generosity of Derailed Commodity, the recliner is officially taken care of! We would also like to extend a special thank you to the K-State Family and Child Development Extension Office for their support and assistance in helping make this project a success.

These partnerships help GMC support employee wellness, maternal and infant health, and our continued commitment to providing a welcoming, family-friendly environment for our employees, patients, and visitors.

Thank you to Derailed Commodity and the K-State Family and Child Development Extension Office for helping us create a space that supports mothers and families in our hospital and community! đź’•
