CentraCare Milk Depot
By having a milk depot, CentraCare – Long Prairie helps to ensure that medically vulnerable babies in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest have access to safely pasteurized human donor milk when a mother’s own milk is unavailable or in low supply. Donations are sent to the Minnesota Milk Bank for Babies to be pasteurized, tested for bacteria, frozen, stored and shipped to health care facilities in need.
