UBS is proud to support working mothers by providing Milk Stork: a service that allows employees traveling on business to safely ship their breast milk to their babies. Milk Stork’s specially designed refrigerated kits contain everything needed to securely store or ship milk. Kits include pharmaceutical-grade shipping coolers, milk storage bags, an instruction card and shipping seals.
UBS is also proud to support families who expand their family with the help of a surrogate. Surrogates may also use Milk Stork to send their milk to the baby.
Milk Stork can help parents identify the breast pump best and order a free insurance-provided pump for them. Parents can also benefit from support learning how to assemble and use their pump once it is received.
You can also visit portal.milkstork.com/ubs or call +1-510-356-0221 to learn more or to request a kit.
