Owensboro Health Regional Hospital will be hosting the 15th Annual Western Kentucky Breastfeeding Coalition Conference. The conference will take place August 7th in Café A from 7:45 a.m. – 4:15 p.m. The material presented is intended for nurses in maternity care and lactation consultants across Kentucky.

Amy Spangler, author of multiple breastfeeding guides, will be speaking at the conference.
