WellSpan Highlights Breast Milk Donation During Women’s Health Month

WellSpan Health is highlighting its Breast Milk Access and Donation Center during Women’s Health Month.

Holly Updegraff began donating breast milk after experiencing postpartum complications and an oversupply of breast milk. Unsure what to do with the extra milk in her freezer, Updegraff received guidance from her lactation consultant and learned about the WellSpan Breast Milk Access and Donation Center.

Updegraff has donated multiple coolers of breast milk through the program, helping provide milk for babies in need.

WellSpan offers breastfeeding support and information for those interested in becoming breast milk donors.

Who We Are

The Franklin County Free Press, established by Vicky Taylor in 2019, emerged as a beacon of local journalism for the residents of Franklin County. Under Vicky's leadership, it quickly became an essential source of news, particularly at a time when major newspaper publications were increasingly overlooking local coverage.
