Joslyn Ward Nurture Nook: Changing and Nursing Station

Family Futures is honored to announce the launch of our new mobile changing and nursing station dedicated to the memory and legacy of our beloved friend and co-worker Joslyn Ward.  

Wife to Cory and mother to Joshua, David, Elisha, and Naomi, she was a bright light in our community. Joslyn’s fierce love and endless compassion radiated in every aspect of her life. As an Advocate, Educator, Community Leader, and Lactation Counselor, she worked tirelessly to provide support and access to information to all families throughout West Michigan.  

This station shares just a small bit of her heart, providing a “nurturing nook” for caregivers to be present in the community she was so passionate about supporting. Family Futures dedicates this space to Joslyn’s lifelong commitment to supporting our community and elevating its resources to enrich the world around us, continuing her legacy.  

This station is more than just a changing room – it is a commitment to families in West Michigan. All parents should have access to resources to raise happy and healthy children. 

What you can expect:  

  • Spacious and private changing area: Plenty of room to change diapers and swap outfits.  
  • Comfortable nursing stations: Private spaces dedicated to nursing or bottle-feeding. 
  • Sanitary wipes and disposable liners: We provide these to make things clean and easy. 
  • Accessible: Able to accommodate a variety of needs.  

In honor of Joslyn Ward’s unwavering commitment to families, we’ve compiled this list of lactation resources and support available in our community:
