Northeast Georgia Medical Center’s Lactation Centers are designed to ensure breastfeeding mothers have all the support they need, especially after coming home from the hospital. Our lactation consultants visit with all breastfeeding mothers in the hospital after their deliveries and are available by phone for any questions that may arise once the mothers return home.

Lactation services are provided at the following locations:
