Meet Janice Wood, obstetrics nurse.

Thanks to her work, Miles Memorial Hospital became the first hospital in Maine to achieve "baby-friendly" status from the World Health Organization and UNICEF. Hospitals get this citation for a strong focus on breastfeeding and providing a nurturing and educational environment for moms.

Now she is the Maine Hospital Association’s Caregiver of the Year. Wood got the award last night at the Samoset Resort in Rockport.

Wood's story starts more than 25 years ago, when she launched the Childbirth Education Program at Miles. She was so invested in the program that she wasmaking home visits on her own time.

Last year, she organized a medical team to go to Uganda to offer HIV education and midwifery training, and raised money for the supplies.

Congrats, Janice.
