Modern Apothecary held a grand opening for its new milk depot and dispensary Saturday morning, offering potentially lifesaving care to the region.
Hannah Sorensen, Modern Apothecary’s registered nurse, said the service is available whenever they are open, offering a local drop-off point for approved Mother’s Milk Bank of Western Great Lakes donors and a dispensary open to the public.
“We’re super excited to have this offering for Kenosha County,” Sorenson said
The service will provide pasteurized human donor milk. As a dispensary, Modern Apothecary will act as a hub where families can purchase pasteurized donor milk for short-term emergency use.
Residents can find out more information about accessing or donating human milk via Milk Bank WGL by visiting their website at www.milkbankwgl.org.
