Buncombe County Partnership for Children
2022 Progress on CHIP
The Buncombe County CHIP Advisory is working to improve birth outcomes and reduce the rate of infant mortality. As breastfeeding is an important strategy to improving child and maternal health, community partners are working together to achieve designation as a breastfeeding friendly community by completing the Ten Steps The Breastfeeding-Family-Friendly Community Designation (BFFCD), as articulated by the Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute. In 2022 there were 15 agencies engaged in the the process to receive breastfeeding friendly designation. The process for designation is long and can be complicated, which has been noted as a potential barrier for expanding the work moving forward.
2023 Progress on CHIP
Funding to support Breastfeeding Friendly designations ended after fiscal year 2022. However, FY 2023 Buncombe County Partnership for Children received funding to continue to support the work of the Breastfeeding Coalition in Buncombe County. Currently, the coalition is working to help expand breastfeeding resources and education.
