While many programs and funds of The Bellin Health Foundation serve patients and departments, a number are also in place to support staff in a variety of ways. In 2008, a special fund was established as a way to support Bellin Health team members going through a hardship: The Robert Fry Employee Assistance Fund. Every Bellin employee is eligible to receive assistance, with the amount dependent on the need and availability of funds. These gifts support employees as they cope with unexpected hardships that place undue financial stress on them and their families. Check out the full story! 👇 https://lnkd.in/gDMKbDR5

Bellin Health's pulmonary team has successfully utilized endobronchial valve deployment for patients with emphysema, marking a pioneering effort in our region. 💙 By treating air leaks with this innovative procedure, patients experience an improved quality of life. The team's recent deployment allowed a patient to speak normally after previously speaking only intermittently and in a whisper. This resulted in immense joy for both the patient and their spouse. Congratulations to the team on this remarkable achievement! 🌟 #Pulmonology

The Bellin Lactation Team will celebrate World Breastfeeding Week Aug. 1-7! World Breastfeeding Week is held the first week of August every year and is supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), among others. This year’s theme is Closing the gap: Breastfeeding support for all. The theme aims to recognize the diversity of all breastfeeding moms and offer them support on multiple levels to ensure each mom is seen, heard and valued along their whole journey. Breastfeeding support comes in various forms including lactation support from healthcare workers, welcoming breastfeeding in any public and private space, and protections for maternity leaves and pumping rights from our government. Bellin’s Lactation Team aims to close the gap in care by offering support throughout a mom’s entire journey. Moms-to-be can be seen for individual prenatal appointments and are encouraged to attend the Prenatal Breastfeeding Class. After delivery, moms are offered support during their hospital stay and have continued support in the clinic settings for the duration of their breastfeeding journey. Bellin also has a free Breastfeeding Bridge support group to help bring moms together to support and encourage each other in a relaxed setting, guided by lactation staff. If you have questions, are seeking information about support programs or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact the following locations: 💙 Generations: (920) 468-3444 💙 Ashwaubenon Pediatrics: (920) 430-4585 💙 De Pere East Pediatrics: (920) 338-6870 💙 Iron Mountain, Mich.: (906) 776-9040 #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #TogetherForMoms
