Hospitals across the country are scrambling to figure out how to help their medical staff who are also parents. That extends beyond the providers to, who are responsible for hygiene and play a vital role in mitigating the risk of infection within hospitals. These workers are needed on site more than ever with the rise of coronavirus cases in the United States.
Providence offers its daycare benefit through a local service called Bright Horizons, according to Hochman, and is working to understand how many of their doctors will be impacted. The hospital chain is confident that Bright Horizons, which offers center-based and in-home care, will have capacity to help it through the current situation, and that it's willing to extend the daycare benefit for longer than the customary ten days.
Making matters more challenging, many doctors in the United States have moved away from their home states for residency programs so they don't have close friends and family nearby. At UW Medicine in Seattle, clinicians have received emails from human resources about plans to "activate additional resources." The emails, which have been viewed by CNBC, indicated that the health system is talking to local university programs that can match accredited students with "interest in child development" to families in need. The hospital is also hoping to contract with local childcare services.
