Meet Our Lactation Counselors

Jennifer Anderson RN, BSN, CLC

I have lived in the Basin for most of my life. I married my high school sweetheart right out of high school. We have 4 children and 1 granddaughter. I started working in OB at UBMC with my LPN in 1999. I have worked here ever since. I was lucky enough to find my niche right out of LPN school. I love my job as a Labor and Delivery nurse and I enjoy helping with breastfeeding. I breastfed all my kids and it was a great experience. I tried to help moms with breastfeeding with what knowledge I did have, but I wanted to expand my knowledge. Therefore, in 2013 I became a Certified Lactation Counselor. I now feel like I can better help moms with breastfeeding and am pleased to see great outcomes.
