Northside Hospital and the Atlanta Braves celebrated the ribbon-cutting for the new Northside Hospital Nursing Lounge at Truist Park on Monday, May 22.
The lounge is available for mothers and infants who attend Braves games and other events at Truist Park. It’s located between the Left Field Gate and Section 141, providing a quiet space for moms and babies.
The air-conditioned lounge includes comfortable rocking chairs and recliners, changing table, TVs and helpful advice on breastfeeding from lactation experts at Northside Hospital.
“The Northside Nursing Lounge at Truist Park is a place of respite and nourishment for our tiniest fans and their All-Star mothers,” Danielle Bedasse, Braves vice president of community affairs and executive director of the Atlanta Braves Foundation, said.
“Braves baseball is for everyone, and this renovated space ensures that new moms have a place to care for their little ones while still being here to enjoy the game we all love. Northside Hospital is a true champion of women’s wellness and maternal health care, and we are grateful for their support to make the Nursing Lounge a welcoming place for our most valuable moms and babies.”
“We at Northside Hospital are thrilled to provide this space for the comfort and health of moms and babies who attend events at Truist Park,” Lee Echols, vice president of marketing at communications at Northside Hospital, said. “Northside is a proud partner of the Braves and their fans, and we lead the nation in newborn deliveries. This is a perfect way to show our commitment to healthy moms and babies, and to highlight our relationship with the Braves.”
Braves pitcher Dylan Lee and his wife, Courtney, joined in the ribbon cutting ceremony.
