Mothers’ Milk Bank opens donation, outreach center

Cody Regional Health’s Women’s Health and Nursery has announced the opening of a human milk donation and outreach center in partnership with Mothers’ Milk Bank (MMB), a Colorado-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting families and babies across the nation. 

As one of only four centers in Wyoming, this new center provides Park County area mothers with the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of infants by donating their surplus breast milk to help those in need.

To celebrate this milestone, Cody Regional Health will host an open house and ribbon cutting on Jan. 21, 2025, at noon at Cody Regional Women’s Health and Nursery, located at 707 Sheridan Ave.

Community members are invited to join the event, meet the team, and learn more about Mothers’ Milk Bank and how it supports mothers and infants in the area.

“We are thrilled to partner with Mothers’ Milk Bank to open this Donation and Outreach Center in Cody,” said Vicki Sarver, Women’s Health & Nursery Director at Cody Regional Health. 

Cody Regional Health’s team will safely transport the milk donations to the Colorado facility, where it will be pasteurized, tested, analyzed, and distributed to babies across the country whose mothers cannot supply sufficient milk for their needs.
