Coalitions

We have three breastfeeding coalitions in the Counties of Albany, Rensselaer and Schenectady. We have many faces around the table from various environments such as schools, health care settings, county health departments, as well as members from the community who are all working together to support our moms and babies in every aspect of their breastfeeding journey.

Join a Coalition

If you would like to join one of our coalitions please email Erin Sinisgalli Erin.Sinisgalli@sphp.com or Stephanie Avienu Stephanie.Avienu@sphp.com
