Pelosi: We Are Making the House Family-Friendly for New Mothers
“Many women face great challenges in managing both
motherhood and career,” Pelosi said. “In order for the House to continue to
attract and maintain the brightest and most committed public servants, we must
ensure that it becomes a family-friendly place to work. This is a step in the right direction.”
Operated and maintained by the Office of Attending Physician (OAP), the nursing room will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Nursing mothers will have access to state-of-the-art equipment. All OAP nurses are trained in providing instruction and are available upon request.
