Senator Dave Cortese and Mothers’ Milk Bank California Announce Senate Resolution 20 Designating May as First-Ever California Human Milk Donation Month

The Mothers' Milk Bank

Senator Dave Cortese (District 15) and Mothers’ Milk Bank California announce State Resolution 20 to mark the official designation of May as the first-ever California Human Milk Donation Month to underscore the critical role of donor human milk in improving infant health outcomes and highlight the urgent need for increased access to this life-saving resource. A May 1 Senate floor session in Sacramento will announce this landmark resolution authored by Senators Dave Cortese and Senator Aisha Wahab with co-authors Senators Alvarado-Gil, Ashby, Blakespear, Caballero, Gonzalez, Hurtado, Limón, Pérez, Rubio, and Umberg. The designation of May as the first-ever California Human Milk Donation Month coincides with the release of The State of Human Milk Banking in California: a comprehensive report that provides critical insights into milk donation trends and statistics, the growing demand for pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM), and the evolving landscape of infant nutrition in California. With a growing demand for donor milk across the state, this call for additional donors will help meet the growing need for donor breast milk and expand access to human milk’s life-saving benefits for every premature and medically fragile infant that needs it. "Demand for pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) has increased worldwide, for both medically fragile infants in the NICU and those that still need support after a NICU discharge. Mothers Milk Bank California distributes PDHM to 60% of NICUs in California and elsewhere and has seen a 30% increase in demand for PDHM in the last year. Designating May as the first-ever California Human Milk Donation Month is designed to raise awareness about the life-saving power of donor human milk," said Jennifer Benito-Kowalski, CEO of Mothers’ Milk Bank California. "Every ounce can save a baby’s life. Only 2% of eligible donors in California are donating breast milk and 1 in 11 babies is born preterm and may need this resource. Let’s help ensure everyone knows how to donate this liquid gold.” “All infants should have access to the benefits of breast milk, one of the most cost-effective ways to improve overall public health. The unique properties of breast milk make it incredibly powerful in preventing the onset of serious diseases like Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) which can be deadly to preterm babies," said Senator Dave Cortese. "Donor recruitment is critical. In California, up to 99% of very preterm or very low birthweight babies use PDHM in the NICU. Yet the current donor pool meets under 75% of the increased demand,” said Senator Dave Cortese of District 15. Preterm or premature infants are the priority population in need of donor human milk. There are many reasons that an infant’s mother’s milk may be unavailable, including absence of the birth mother, the mother having certain diseases that can be transmitted to the baby, the mother requiring medications that may make breastfeeding unsafe, premature birth requiring hospitalization of the infant in the NICU, and lactation difficulties. Prospective donors undergo medical screening to determine their eligibility and health status. Once approved, their donated milk is pasteurized to eliminate pathogens while preserving its nutritional value, and then sent to public health for testing, The pasteurized milk is distributed to hospitals and individuals in a safe and regulated manner. UC Health Milk Bank, AANHPI Lactation Collaborative, California Breastfeeding Coalition, California WIC Association, Community Bridges WIC, Denise Chapel Nutritional Services, Human Milk Connection, Nourishing Justly, Pretty Mama Breastfeeding LLC, Raíces y Cariño, Sacramento Breastfeeding Coalition, Santa Cruz County Breastfeeding Coalition, Solano County Breastfeeding Coalition and Watsonville Hospital will join the public awareness campaign to shine a light on how human milk saves lives.

Livestream the legislative session in Sacramento here: https://www.senate.ca.gov/calendar About Mothers’ Milk Bank California The oldest operating nonprofit milk bank in the U.S, Mothers’ Milk Bank California is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing lifesaving donor human milk to medically fragile infants. As one of the nation’s longest-operating milk banks, we ensure equitable access to safe, pasteurized donor milk for hospitals and families in need. About Senator Cortese Senator Dave Cortese was elected in November of 2020 to represent State Senate District 15 which encompasses much of Santa Clara County in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Cowper Law LLP Defeats Medtronic's Motion for Summary Judgment in MiniMed Insulin Pump Litigation

Cowper Law

BOSTON, MA / ThriveNewsWire/ April 25, 2025/ Cowper Law LLP has successfully defeated Medtronic Inc's Motion for Summary Judgment based on statute of limitations in the case Davis et al. v. Medtronic MiniMed Inc. et al. The case is before Judge Elihu Berle in Los Angeles Superior Court' s Complex Division. The Judge also denied Medtronic’s Motion for Summary Judgment in the Burgess et al. v Medtronic MiniMed Inc. case. In a combined order issued on March 27, 2025, analyzing both cases, Judge Berle found: “Plaintiff has set forth evidence demonstrating a prima facie case of fraudulent concealment against Defendants. The evidence suggests that Defendants possessed actual knowledge of the defective retainer rings in its insulin pumps as early as 2016 as shown by internal documents indicating awareness in the defect, its associated risks and the potential of widespread impact.” See transcript at 30. The Judge continued: “Based on the evidence presented by Plaintiff, it can be inferred that Defendants’ alleged concealment was motivated by a purpose to continue selling its insulin pump systems and to evade liability for user harm demonstrating a fixed purpose to conceal.” Id. The Court concluded: “Taken together, this evidence could support a finding that Defendants had actual knowledge of the defect, concealed the defect, had a fixed purpose to conceal the defect, and [the plaintiff] could have reasonably relied on concealment.” Id. These cases are currently set for trial on July 21, 2025 in front of Judge Berle. Cowper Law LLP represents over a thousand Type-I diabetics who used the FDA Class 1 recalled Medtronic 600-series insulin pumps.

Exhibition Dedicated to the Lord of Sipán Showcases Peru’s Extraordinary Cultural Legacy at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai

Promperu

The Commission for the Promotion of Peru (PROMPERÚ) has announced that the Peru Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai is captivating international audiences with its temporary exhibition titled “The Mochicas, Sovereigns of the Desert.” Visitors have the opportunity to view replicas of the Lord of Sipán's and the Old Lord of Sipán’s jewelry, meticulously crafted by artisans from the Lambayeque region. The exhibit also features a life-sized representation of the Mochica ruler, along with valuable historical information. This exhibition is the result of a collaborative effort between PROMPERÚ and the Sipán Board of Trustees, a non-profit organization committed to the research, preservation, and promotion of northern Peru’s archaeological heritage. It aims to highlight the extraordinary treasures discovered in the tomb of the Lord of Sipán—considered one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. To convey the spirit and impressive development of the Mochica culture, the exhibit includes two mannequins created by renowned artist Edilberto Mérida Pilares, based on the facial features of the Mochica people's modern-day descendants. Notably, it is the descendants of this cultural heritage who have faithfully recreated the royal court’s ornaments and ceremonial objects. Lambayeque artisans Armando Gil, Segundo Gonzales, and Johnny Aldana have carefully crafted stunning replicas of Mochica jewelry, allowing the exhibition to present historical figures of the elite richly adorned to reflect their power and status. Peru’s past is represented through the remarkable Mochica civilization and its masterful goldsmithing, while the present is embodied by the people who continue to keep this heritage alive through art and memory. By showcasing this glorious legacy at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai—the world’s premier cultural event—Peru not only honors its past but also strengthens its national identity and looks toward the future. Under the theme “Infinite Possibilities,” the Peru Pavilion shares with the world the country’s cultural, historical, and natural richness through a presentation that blends tradition, innovation, and sustainability.
