Did you know that just 3 ounces of donor breastmilk can provide up to 12 feedings for a premature baby? Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns invites you to donate your excess breastmilk – expressed within the last 9 months – to support our tiniest Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients.

In support of National Breastfeeding Month, Sharp Mary Birch will be hosting its virtual donor breast milk drive during the entire month of August. This allows you to donate your excess breast milk from the comfort of your home!
