United States Congressional Representative Grace Meng recently visited Flushing Hospital to tour the hospital’s Labor and Delivery Unit and observe the facility’s WIC Program.
The tour was the result of a NYS Board of Directors for WIC Programs meeting. After the meeting, the Board suggested that Congresswoman Meng, who favorably supports WIC, tour a facility with a reputable program, in the community she represents. Flushing Hospital’s WIC program was selected.
Rep. Meng was given a tour of the WIC office and the hospital’s Labor and Delivery Unit. While on tour, Rep. Meng and hospital leadership discussed prenatal care and breastfeeding, and was informed that infant care made up the majority of care being provided by the hospital.
Rep. Meng was impressed and pledged that she would do all that was within her power to make sure that funding for such necessary programs remained intact.
