Receive FREE Recognition as a Texas Mother-Friendly Worksite!!

The Texas Mother Friendly Program offers free recognition to companies that support women to express breastmilk while at the workplace.

Your company's Human Resources Director and/or your Employee Wellness Coordinator are encouraged to contact NET Health and learn how to create a worksite policy that directly addresses accommodations for your employees who are mothers of newborns, or how to update your existing worksite policy so that mothers of newborns can safely breastfeed their infant while at the worksite and/or to privately express breastmilk for storage while at their worksite.

This wonderful initiative supports your employees who are mothers of newborns and our WIC staff are able to present information about the program to your business. 

Below are companies in the Tyler area that are current Texas Mother Friendly Worksites:

  3. Access to a nearby clean and safe water source and a sink for washing hands and rinsing out breast pump equipment
  4. Access to hygienic storage options for mothers to safely store breastmilk 

Some of the benefits that are already evident from the free Texas Mother Friendly Program include:
