Healthy Horizons announces the winners of its $10,000 Lactation Room Contest: San Jose State University, City of Rancho Cordova, and More

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA, July 17, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Healthy Horizons, the trailblazer in workplace lactation rooms and new parent programs, is proud to announce the winners of its highly-anticipated $10,000 Lactation Room Contest 2023. The contest garnered an unprecedented wave of interest from employers and parents nationwide, all eager to enhance the support they offer to breastfeeding parents.

The organizations that won top-notch lactation room upgrades are:
-San Jose State University (SJSU): The oldest public university on the West Coast, in the heart of Silicon Valley.
-City of Rancho Cordova: A burgeoning city stepping up for its growing population of new mothers.
-Sacramento Area Sewer District: A testament to the fact that all workplaces can embrace breastfeeding support, ensuring every parent feels valued.
-Treehouse Foods: A company dedicated to nourishing families.

These four organizations each received a comprehensive prize package with state-of-the-art lactation equipment, stylish furniture, milk shipping, chest/breastfeeding essentials, and expert consultation services.

"As a nursing mom at a large public institution, I have been able to see the needs of all nursing parents," said Alex, a working mom at San Jose State University. "This prize will not only impact employees but numerous students. It would truly help change campus."

"Our City is fairly new – we just celebrated 20 years of Cityhood, and recently grew to around 100 staff," said Margarita, a working mom at the City of Rancho Cordova. "The Lactation Room is about to get even busier – there's a baby boom this year! Mother's room accommodations and pumping concerns should be the least of moms' worries when they're back at work."

"We are incredibly proud to support these exceptional organizations in their commitment to fostering a positive and supportive environment for working parents," said Sheila Janakos, CEO of Healthy Horizons. "Our mission is to empower parents to thrive both at home and at work, and these lactation rooms are a tangible step towards achieving that goal."
