Lake Granbury Medical Center’s Maternity Department Recertifies with Texas 10 Step

12/14/2022

Lake Granbury Medical Center (LGMC) was recently recertified as a Designated Texas Ten Step Hospital Partner as part of their long-standing commitment to improving maternity care and breastfeeding support for new moms and their babies in Granbury, Texas.

As part of the Texas Ten Step (TTS) program, LGMC aligns with the World Health Organization and UNICEF’s Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, an initiative that supports moms and their babies with breastfeeding initiation, breastfeeding exclusivity for a minimum of six months, and the continuation of breastfeeding for a year and beyond. All practices are designed to set new moms and their babies up for successful breastfeeding, improved infant health, and increased overall patient satisfaction. Studies show that when mothers experience Ten Step practices in the birthing facility, they are more likely to reach their goals of exclusive breastfeeding.

“We are proud to, once again, re-certify with this outstanding program to enhance the health and well-being of our moms and babies,” mentions Curt M. Junkins, CEO of LGMC. “The commitment of our maternity leadership and staff continues every day to provide the best possible care for the residents of our communities.”
