The Mothers' Milk Bank relies on women to donate their extra milk to preterm and ill infants in need of milk when their mothers cannot provide their own. Memorial Hermann offers four depot locations in Houston which include, Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, The Woodlands, Katy and Memorial City.
For more information on how to become an approved donor, please visit Mothers' Milk Bank webpage.
Memorial Hermann Maternal Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Council was formed to fully understand the severe maternal morbidity problem and to identify and begin to address the underlying causes.
