Support Groups
Greenwood Alliance for Breastfeeding Cyber-support (Greenwood ABCs)
The Greenwood Alliance for Breastfeeding Cyber-Support (Greenwood ABCs) was developed out of a need for a community alliance that could offer formal support for breastfeeding. Greenwood has so many wonderful resources for breastfeeding mothers, but without a community alliance, many women remained unaware of the information. The Greenwood ABCs is an interdisciplinary group of professionals, mothers, and community leaders that serve as a forum for addressing breastfeeding issues. We hope that you will find this website helpful and easy to access.
McLeod Resource Center
The McLeod Resource Center provides valuable health education material and resources for the community.

I have been a board certified lactation consultant for 4 years now. I really enjoy my job. I work at St. Francis Eastside.

I worked in the Kansas City WIC program for 2 years before moving back home.
