BREASTFEEDING PROGRAM
The EPIC® Breastfeeding Program offers peer-to-peer breastfeeding education to physician’s offices, hospitals, and residency programs. Our goal is to educate physicians and their staff on breastfeeding and inform them as to why they play a critical role in a woman’s decision to breastfeed and to continue breastfeeding. We provide information on evidence-based standards of how to encourage, promote, and support breastfeeding. We also give out information on how to access lactation and support services in the community and free resources for patient education.

EPIC® provides the most current ACIP recommendations for all vaccines and discusses the childhood, adolescent, and adult immunization schedules in detail. Other topics include proper administration, documentation, missed opportunities, school requirements, and forms, Vaccines For Children (VFC) Program, vaccine safety, communicating risks, strategies to increase rates, storage and handling and more.
