Coast Guard physician assistant donates breast milk to help Haitian newborns

 

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - A small boat from the Coast Guard Cutter Oak speeds to the USNS Comfort with a special delivery, Jan. 27, 2010. Lt. Teresa Wolf, a physician assistant, donates her breast milk to the Pediatric Ward aboard the USNS Comfort, Jan. 27, 2010. Wolf, from Goldsborough, N.C., began donating milk daily to the medical ship after learning about their severe need. She is deployed with Port Security Unit 307 in support of relief efforts, leaving behind her 10-week girl, Chloe Danielle. "It's the right thing to do," said Wolf. "Babies get so much more nutrients from breast milk. It's good for the eyes, brain ... everything." U.S. Coast Guard photo by PA1 Adam Eggers.   PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Coast Guard Lt.
