Janet Brown
@janetbrown
Experienced lactation consultant dedicated to maternal and infant health.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Registered Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with over 40 years of experience in maternal and child health. My journey began with an Associate of Science in Nursing from Montgomery College, and since then, I have passionately worked to support new mothers and their infants through various roles in healthcare.
Throughout my career, I have held multiple positions at Holy Cross Hospital, where I developed and managed the Maternal Child Home Care Service and the Outpatient Lactation Center. My commitment to patient satisfaction led me to create a triage tool for lactation services, ensuring consistency and quality care. I have also been actively involved in professional organizations, contributing to committees focused on breastfeeding and patient safety.
