What We Love

Thanks to the programs offered by this academic medical center, moms can accomplish twice as much in half the time. They may pursue master’s degrees (in business, IT, health administration and nursing) via an affiliated university, and never spend more than six weeks on campus. They can attend on-site yoga classes and childbirth education or access free doula services and cozy lactation rooms. They may order groceries online (through a new service) and have them delivered to work sites; if needed, they can also find plumbers, pet sitters and tutors through another provider. Caregivers may arrange to speak with geriatric care managers, attend elder care support meetings, tap 20 days of backup care per year or use an on-site child care and adult day services program. And those who want to get fit can work out at three on-site recreation centers.
