Baby Friendly
Our hospital is the first on Florida's First Coast to earn the coveted international Baby Friendly certification from World Health Organization and United Nations Children's Fund. Certification was granted after a rigorous on-site survey, and is maintained by continuing to follow 10 steps crucial to supporting breastfeeding. Breast milk is called "uniquely superior" by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and offers significant health benefits to babies and moms. We're proud to support all moms and babies with a wide variety of programs, services and free classes (for expecting and new parents who plan to give birth at our hospital). Please call (904) 542-BABY (2229) for more information.
Breastfeeding is welcome at all of our facilities--and special "Milky Way" rooms are available at our hospital for breast pumping and for mothers who would like some quiet time while feeding their infants, with locations at Pediatrics (East Annex, 1st Floor, Room 1830) and 5th Floor (Central Tower, Room 5038B). A lactation nurse is available at (904) 542-9671 or cell: (904) 250-6374 (Hospital Central Tower, 8th Floor, Room 8026). A lactation nurse is available at NBHC Mayport, (904) 270-4289. |

Medical Home Port
Every primary care clinic at Naval Hospital Jacksonville--its hospital and five branch health clinics--has earned Patient Centered Medical Home recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). NCQA's recognition programs are built on evidence-based, nationally recognized clinical standards of care. Patients with a primary care manager (PCM) at our hospital or a branch health clinic belong to a primary care team--as part of Medical Home Port. It places you at the center of a collaborative team of caregivers--from doctors to case managers. Led by your PCM, your team focuses on your comprehensive health care needs--urgent, preventive and routine.
