WellSpan Breast Milk Access and Donation Center

Breast milk provides unmatched benefits for babies and mothers - yet ensuring enough milk for infants in critical need can be a challenge. That’s why WellSpan Health, in collaboration with the Mid-Atlantic Mothers' Milk Bank, has launched the region’s first WellSpan Breast Milk Access and Donation Center.

Why it matters:

Access to safe, pasteurized human donor milk can make a life-changing difference for babies with medical needs and families facing breastfeeding challenges. By working together, we’re building a stronger, healthier community.

What We Offer:

• Donor Milk Access: Pasteurized human donor milk for infants who need it most.*
• Donation Opportunities: Approved donors can drop off milk during designated hours.
• Lactation Support: Expert guidance and resources for breastfeeding families.

*Note: If you have an HSA, funds may be available for use depending on your plan’s guidelines.

Pasteurized human breast milk offers unmatched benefits for babies and mothers:

• For Babies: Optimal nutrition, stronger immunity and reduced risk of infections and chronic conditions.
• For Mothers: Lower risk of certain cancers, diabetes and heart disease, plus faster postpartum recovery.

Safety and Quality

Every ounce of donor milk is fully screened and tested through our partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Mothers’ Milk Bank, ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality. Breast milk donors are screened for several conditions, including Hepatitis B and C, the human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV), the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and syphilis via an RPR test.
