Lactation Spaces Required in All VA Medical Centers for Veteran Moms.
This new law mandates that all Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers must establish dedicated, private, and hygienic lactation spaces. This change ensures that women veterans and members of the public visiting VA hospitals have access to a safe and comfortable area, separate from a restroom, for breastfeeding or expressing milk. All VA facilities must meet these standards within three years.
Key points
All VA hospitals must provide private, hygienic, and accessible lactation rooms, including features for disabled individuals.
These spaces must include a chair and a working surface and be clearly identified with signage to ensure easy location.
The law requires the VA to achieve full compliance across all medical centers within three years of the act's enactment.
