At CareSouth Medical & Dental, we’re proud to recognize the many health benefits breastfeeding can provide for both mothers and babies—from supporting healthy growth and development to providing important nutrients and antibodies.

Throughout National Breastfeeding Month, we celebrate and support mothers and families on their feeding journeys while continuing to provide education, resources, and compassionate care.

Breast milk is uniquely designed to support a baby’s growth and development, providing essential nutrients, antibodies, and immune-supporting benefits along the way.

As babies grow, breast milk adapts to meet their changing needs — one of the many incredible ways a mother’s body supports her baby. 💕

This month, CareSouth Medical & Dental is proud to help raise awareness, share trusted information, and support families throughout their breastfeeding journey.

Knowledge is power when it comes to making informed decisions for mom and baby! 💙

Dr. Jalisa Dyer, our Nurse Practitioner OBGYN​, is sharing important breastfeeding facts, benefits, and helpful information to support expecting and new mothers throughout their journey.

At CareSouth, we believe education and access to trusted healthcare professionals are important parts of building healthier families and healthier communities.

Watch, learn, and share with a mom who may need this information! 💕

CareSouth was honored to welcome Mrs. Erin Tawney, Regional Director for the Office of Intergovernmental and External Affairs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, during her final stop in Baton Rouge yesterday.

Mrs. Tawney met with our Executive Staff and Board of Directors, along with Louisiana Primary Care Association Executive Director Gerrelda Davis and Executive Assistant Anne Williams. Following the meeting, we had the pleasure of giving her a tour of our new Geriatric Clinic at Lotus Village.

We are grateful for Mrs. Tawney’s visit and the opportunity to highlight CareSouth’s continued commitment to providing quality, accessible healthcare to the communities we serve. It was a wonderful way to celebrate National Health Center Week 2026!
