Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital, and City of Long Beach, Celebrate Five Years of Welcome Baby
“Families have been very receptive to the program,” says Lynnette Bello, Supervisor of the Welcome Baby program at MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach. Indeed, we’ve heard several parents in Long Beach rave about Welcome Baby — here’s one mom and here’s another — and recently the city’s mayor joined the chorus of those who are singing the praises of this home visiting program.
To recognize Welcome Baby’s five-year anniversary at Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital, Mayor Robert Garcia issued a special proclamation that highlights some of the program’s benefits for families — and for the whole community (see below).
