Case study: A health system’s quick and creative solution to a child care shortage

Young children in a classroom

Current healthcare workforce trends paint an alarming picture – one-fifth of registered nurses in the United States intend to leave the workforce by 2027. 

Without proper support to manage work and life, healthcare employees churn, costing organizations money and impacting patient care. 

Recognizing the urgent need for support, United Health Services (UHS) identified child care as a crucial benefit to assist its employees and enhance its employer brand: 

"Today, in healthcare, the competition for talent is very, very fierce. Anything that we can do to help differentiate ourselves or provide benefits that are better or beyond what our competition is providing — those are the type of benefits we want to provide to our staff." - Sheri Lamoureux, Chief Human Resource Officer, UHS.
