Breast Pumps Available
The Livingston County Health Center has hospital grade breast pumps available for use on loan. For WIC clients the pumps are available at no cost. They may be used as long as the client is in need of them and once finished they must be returned to the Health Center.
We also have pumps available to the general public for a one time fee of 50.00. The pump may be used as long as needed. Since we do not have a large number of these pumps we do ask that once you no longer need the pump that you return it as soon as you can.
If you are interested in receiving a breast pump or have questions contact Shelby Hayes at 660-646-5506 or 660-247-2499.
