PRESS RELEASE

A new survey has found that breastfeeding support for hospital employees is increasing, except when it comes to providing on-site child care. The survey showed that hospitals in the U.S. provided more breastfeeding support to their employees between 2007 and 2015, but less than two percent of respondents offered all seven breastfeeding supports. Joan Meek, associate dean for graduate medical education and professor at the FSU College of Medicine, gives her perspective on the survey implications.
