Healthy Savannah Encourages Breastfeeding-Friendly Policies: “Breastfeeding Welcome Here” Campaign

January 30, 2025 – On any given day, more than a hundred coastal residents will walk through the doors of one of Gateway Community Service Board’s facilities serving eight coastal Georgia counties from Chatham to Camden. The community-based organization provides services for children, youth, adults, and families with mental illness, developmental disabilities, and/or substance use disorders.

“Our mission is to provide comprehensive services for clients, which includes ensuring they feel comfortable and safe while here,” said Leigh Ann Kittle. “One way we do that is by providing a dedicated and safe space for breastfeeding and pumping.”

Kittle says the organization offers lactation rooms in four Chatham County facilities plus several in other locations throughout the region.
