The East Carolina University School of Medicine would like some information
on the types of lactation centers for employees that other School of
Medicines, hospitals and Health care facilities offer. Can anyone who works
in a facility with a Lactation Center/Room please email me some info on your
facility, number of employees, number of pumps available, rooms available,
equipment offered, and perks such as pumping breaks, reinbursements for pumps
and/or kits, and LC consults offered.
Our entire hospital, School of Medicine and assorted clinics has about 6000
employees total and has 3 lactation rooms, each with 2 pumps which the
employees must share with patients. Employees often has to walk 20 min from
their job site to the lactation room to pump and then arrive to discover a
patient is using the pump ( they get first priority) or another employee.
One of the Med students is working on a  proposal to improve this facilities
for employees and students.
 ( And you all know how supportive this facility is to breastfeeding!!!!!)
We appreciate your help.
