For Employers & Businesses

The Pennsylvania Breastfeeding Coalition

Maternity Care Coalition and the Pennsylvania Breastfeeding Coalition (PA-BC) are working with partners around the state to raise awareness about the importance of providing support to working women who breastfeed.  The Pennsylvania Breastfeeding-Friendly Workplace Collaborative is a network of advocates that conduct local breastfeeding friendly workplace awards campaigns and outreach to businesses.  There have been campaigns across the state, including MCC’s 2008 Breastfeeding Friendly Business Awards. Awardees include school districts, nonprofit organizations, investment companies, and the state university. 

You can learn about breastfeeding-friendly practices, view the past winners of our Breastfeeding-Friendly Business Awards, or become a breastfeeding-friendly business by participating in our decal campaign! For more information, please email .
