Col. John A. Smyrski III, commander, William Beaumont Army Medical Center, along with Sgt. Isabella Kleider, Licensed Vocational Nursing, Department of Nursing, WBAMC, cut a cake in recognition of WBAMC's recent designation as a Texas Ten Step Program facility during a ceremony, Nov. 29. The Texas Ten Step program is based off the World Health Organization (WHO)/ United Nations Children’s Fund’s (UNICEF) ten steps to successful breastfeeding program, as part of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative which encourages and recognizes hospitals that offer an optimal level of care for infant-feeding. The 4-D pathway which leads to the Baby-Friendly designation consists of four phases including discovery, development, dissemination and designation. Currently WBAMC is in the final phase toward recognition.
