Lactation Support
The University of Kansas Medical Center recognizes the health and emotional advantages of breastfeeding for mothers and infants. The medical center strives to offer support and flexibility to nursing mothers who are faculty, staff, residents, trainees and students to express their breast milk during work hours and on campus, while still allowing them to maintain proper focus on the performance of their duties and/or studies. Please reach out to our Benefits department at benefits-university@kumc.edu with any questions.
