COMMENTS FROM DOULAS WHO HAVE ATTENDED THERE- " I didn't see a spot for this on the form, but this hospital also has a lactation educator (CLE) that works M-F 9-5 and follows women for free until they wean. So if they get thrush at 9 months, they can still see her for free, as long as they delivered at St. Mark's. Her name is Stephanie Mori-Nakao and her # is (801) 268-7261."
