Each year, this award is given to a perinatal health community leader who demonstrates exceptional dedication and commitment to improving pregnancy outcomes.
Wendy has worked tirelessly to provide quality care by managing breastfeeding services at PHFE WIC and advocating for Baby Friendly hospitals.
