LADWP Lactation Lounge Room
The LADWP Lactation Accommodation Program (LAP), supported by Healthy Horizons, includes a dedicated lactation lounge with four suites and offers employees access to Hospital-Grade breast pumps, lactation/breastfeeding support groups, classes, products and supplies to ensure a stress-free and positive experience for all users. Employees also have access to a dedicated lactation professional to ensure all chest/breastfeeding employees at LADWP feel supported in their feeding and pumping journeys.
“LADWP is proving to be a role model and a leader in workplace lactation support. It is so important that others look to them as an example of what a truly holistic program can consist of,” said Sheila Janakos, MPH, IBCLC, CEO of Healthy Horizons.
“It is a privilege to support LADWP and their working parents. LADWP is making an impact not only on their working parents, but on their overall culture and are setting the standard of what best in class workplace lactation support looks like for organizations in North America. We look forward to a long partnership to support their pumping parents at work.” said Cassi Janakos, MS, COO of Healthy Horizons.
“New moms need to have the security of knowing they will have a dedicated place to pump milk when they return to the workplace. Through our newly established Women’s Council and our longstanding Family Care Program, LADWP is focused on supporting our female employees and programs that facilitate work-life balance. We are excited for our new mothers to have a relaxing, fully resourced place to lactate at our headquarters and are planning to expand lactation lounges to other employee locations in the near future,” said Cynthia McClain Hill, President of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners.
