Acelleron Hires a Director of Education

ANDOVER, Mass. and EATONTOWN, N.J., Feb. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Holly Mielcarz, RN, IBCLC* and a certified childbirth educator, Andover, Mass., has been hired by Acelleron Medical Products, a home medical equipment provider, as its director of education. In this role, Mielcarz will create and maintain relationships with OBGYN centers and hospitals throughout New England. She will also advise nursing advocacy and support groups, educating them about the Affordable Care Act, the availability of breastfeeding support, and breast pumps for new and expectant mothers through Acelleron, a Preferred Home Health Care company, Eatontown, N.J.

Mielcarz, who has a passion for educating breastfeeding women in the workplace, will be partnering with corporations to offer this valuable information to employees. Breast pumps are now covered by most major health insurance plans with no out-of-pocket costs as long as they are obtained from a durable medical equipment (DME) company, such as Acelleron.

Before joining Acelleron, Mielcarz, who has 18 years of experience as an RN, worked at Concord Hospital for six years where she provided maternal and child health information, lactation support, and evidence-based childbirth education to expecting parents.

Mielcarz said, "I am excited to be part of the Acelleron team, and I am confident that we can continue to grow as we support, educate and serve as a resource to so many families, businesses and healthcare organizations throughout New England."
