Other Family Benefits
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.
