Worksite Collaborations

MilkWorks values working with employers to enhance their breastfeeding support and breast pump resource list. We are deeply passionate about families in our community and we have much to offer both new and seasoned families, including: 

Employer Assistance
When breastfeeding is supported in the workplace, employees are more productive, healthcare costs are lower, there is decreased absenteeism and decreased staff turnover. MilkWorks understands the importance of supporting breastfeeding in the workplace and we are here to help you navigate the process and be prepared! We offer:

  • Worksite Lactation Room/HR Policy Consultations
  • Breast pump coverage information & insurance filing
  • Medela Symphony breast pump rental for onsite employee use
  • Return to Work class (offered 1-2 times monthly at each MilkWorks location)

Pump Access Program

The MilkWorks Pump Access Program started as a way to increase access to personal use breast pumps (PUPs) for families in our community. PUPs are an important tool for parents who choose to breastfeed. By removing barriers for families who may not be able to easily obtain a PUP before or after the birth of their child, we can improve breastfeeding support and the health of our community. MilkWorks is a durable medical equipment (DME) provider for most private insurance plans and Nebraska Medicaid plans and can supply personal use breast pumps to those who qualify. 

MilkWorks collaborates with

  • Beatrice Community Hospital and Health Center
  • Carl T. Curtis Health Center
  • Children's Nebraska
  • Douglas County Health Department WIC at Charles Drew
  • Grand Island Regional Medical Center
  • Lincoln Lancaster County Health Department WIC
  • Mary Lanning Healthcare
  • Nebraska Medicine
  • Northeast Nebraska Community Action Partnership Fremont WIC clinic
  • OneWorld Community Health Center
  • Winnebago Comprehensive Healthcare System

to provide high quality, double electric breast pumps to the families they serve. Parents are able to obtain the pump along with full instruction on how to most effectively use it. This is especially helpful to moms with language and/or transportation barriers.
