Grace Yee retired in 2019 as the Breastfeeding Coordinator and the Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Program Supervisor for the City & County of San Francisco WIC Program. Grace was an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and currently holds the retired status of IBCLC. Before she joined WIC in 2009, she had worked at a public health center and at a hospital outpatient clinic as a health educator. In both positions, she worked with mothers and infants from diverse cultures and backgrounds; she prepared expectant parents for birth and breastfeeding, and supported their lactation experience postnatally.  During her tenure at the San Francisco General Hospital Women’s Clinic, Grace designed the Expectant Parents Club, a combination of prenatal preparedness class, integrated lactation education and support, with support group in English, Spanish, Cantonese and Mandarin; the Club was well accepted. In her thirty plus years in breastfeeding education, support, and promotion, her tenure at WIC was the most meaningful and galvanizing experience, at which she was able to involve the lactation, healthcare, childcare communities to improve lactation care, support and policies locally. She is also a Board Member of the California Breastfeeding Coalition (CBC) and the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islanders Lactation Collaborative of California, where she continues to invest her passion and energy in lactation matters.
