News ReleaseMothers' Milk Bank California Launches Cares Program and Marks 50 Years of Service
The Mothers' Milk Bank
Mothers' Milk Bank California (MMB California), the oldest continuously operating independent nonprofit milk bank in the United States, celebrates a significant milestone of half a century dedicated to serving infants and families in need across the country. MMB has updated the name of the organization to include 'California' to honor its roots in the state. Central to MMB California's legacy is a network of more than 30 nonprofit mothers’ milk banks across the United States and in Mexico that have followed the model MMB California established 50 years ago. Since 1974, Mothers’ Milk Bank California has distributed 16 million ounces of human donor milk to some of the country’s most at-risk babies. That’s equivalent to filling 7 swimming pools with liquid gold. Our community of milk donors at MMB California is nearly 25,000 strong, supporting thousands of families in their times of need. The organization collaborates with a growing number of hospitals nationwide to provide safe, lifesaving nourishment to their tiniest patients. MMB California advances the milk banking industry through partnerships, research support, and advocacy for stringent health and safety guidelines. “As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we reflect on the incredible journey of saving lives and supporting families. Our new MMB California Cares Program is a testament to our commitment to quality, efficiency, equity, and education. We are excited to continue our mission and expand our reach to ensure that every baby in need has access to safe donor milk,” said Jennifer Benito-Kowalski, Chief Executive Officer of Mothers' Milk Bank California. Today, MMB California announced the launch of their 50th anniversary, MMB California Cares Program, along with their vision for the next 50 years. This initiative aims to build and strengthen the Milk Donor Community, highlighting the ongoing dedication to: Quality Assurance and Compliance: Upholding rigorous standards for processing and distributing donor human milk to ensure safety and efficacy. Efficiency and Excellence: Streamlining operations to maximize the impact of milk donations across our expanding network. Equity and Access Initiatives: Increasing access to donor human milk for all families in California and beyond. Education and Outreach Campaigns: Launching comprehensive programs to raise awareness about the life-saving benefits of donor human milk and foster community among donors and recipients. Alongside these initiatives, Mothers' Milk Bank California has unveiled a newly redesigned website. Featuring enhanced navigation and user-friendly interfaces, the site provides resources for donors, healthcare providers, and families seeking support.

NassifMD Skincare
Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Paul Nassif, has been recognized in Newsweek's prestigious list of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons 2024 for the second time. Dr. Nassif is known for his expertise and precision in facelift, rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery and has achieved a distinguished position among the top plastic surgeons in the country. Newsweek, in collaboration with global data firm Statista, conducted an extensive survey involving over 2,000 medical professionals, including surgeons, doctors, and clinic managers. The survey collected more than 8,000 votes per procedure, covering five major categories: facelift, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation and liposuction. Dr. Nassif's exceptional skills in facelift, rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery were recognized in this comprehensive evaluation. “I am honored to be included in Newsweek's 2024 rankings,” said Dr. Paul Nassif. “This recognition reflects my commitment to excellence in my field and my dedication to providing the best possible outcomes for my patients.” Dr. Nassif’s extensive career spans over two decades, during which he has performed thousands of successful surgeries, earning him a worldwide reputation for his meticulous attention to detail and natural-looking results.

Leveraging his deep understanding of skin health and rejuvenation, Dr. Nassif developed a range of products with the same precision and care he applies in his surgeries. The brand’s hero products, and two of its first-to-market formulas, NassifMD Detox Pads exfoliate and cleanse the skin to remove impurities and enhance skin texture and Hydro-Screen Hydration Serum hydrates and plumps the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while enhancing skin texture and elasticity. Each NassifMD ® Skincare product is formulated with high-quality ingredients and innovative technology to deliver visible results, helping users achieve and maintain healthy, youthful skin.
