The Moncton Hospital's experience with workplace child care

Making child care available in the workplace is a concept that is becoming increasingly popular with both employers and employees. It has particular appeal to hospital employees who work shifts or irregular hours. As a result, they often have great difficulty in finding dependable, quality child care that can accommodate their needs. In 1991, The Moncton Hospital established an in-house child care centre--the first to operate in a New Brunswick hospital. This article outlines the steps taken to make that centre a reality.
