Baby Friendly Initiative (BFI) is a global quality program that helps health care facilities create welcoming spaces for families and supports breastfeeding and infant feeding.
Penticton Health Center and Penticton Regional Hospital have recently become BFI accredited facilities. There is an ongoing committee that meets every other month to review how the facilities are doing in meeting standards for BFI accreditation.
We are looking for patient partners who can attend these meetings and give feedback on the various projects and changes that go along with maintaining Baby Friendly healthcare facilities. This includes sharing the patient perspective.
These meetings can be attended in person or virtually by patient partners.
