THE MOTHERS' MILK BANK AT AUSTIN (MMBA) SAVES BABIES' LIVES BY PROVIDING PRESCRIBED PASTEURIZED DONOR HUMAN MILK (PDHM). PHYSICIANS ORDER IS REQUIRED FOR VULNERABLE AND FRAGILE INFANTS; MMBA'S PROGRAM FOR HEALTHY INFANTS DOES NOT REQUIRE A PRESCRIPTION. THE VULNERABLE POPULATION SERVED MAKES UP ABOUT 90% OF OUR DISPENSED DONOR MILK. THE MILK IS MIXED INTO TARGETED CALORIE AND PROTEIN POOLS, HEAT PROCESSED TO ERADICATE VIRUSES AND BACTERIA, AND TESTED FOR VERIFICATION OF SAFETY BEFORE DISPENSING.
