The Lactation Consultant Services staff at Rapid City Regional Hospital consists of Registered Nurses who are International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC). They provide education and support for parents choosing to breastfeed their infant.
Achieving IBCLC status requires specialty education and extensive practical experience working with breastfeeding mothers before taking and successfully passing a university level certification exam. Rapid City Regional Hospital's standard of providing only lactation consultants with IBCLC status assures you the highest level of expertise available.
