Two hospitals have shared plans to close or restructure their day care facilities over the last month.
After entering a strategic partnership with Bright Horizons, an educational support services company, Yale New Haven (Conn.) Health is closing its center on Davenport Street in New Haven to consolidate it with day care services at its location on George Street, effective July 1.
"All qualified teachers in good standing will be offered employment through Bright Horizons at their current hourly rate of pay," a spokesperson for Yale New Haven Health said in a statement shared with Becker's.
Lutheran Health Network also shared plans to shutter its child care program on its Lutheran Hospital campus in Fort Wayne, Ind.
The health system, also located in Fort Wayne, has kicked off a transitional period for the child care program that will continue until May 31.
"We are supporting each affected employee and their family to make this transition and secure new child care arrangements," Lutheran Health Network said in a statement shared with The Journal Gazette. "We continually assess the programs we support, and this is one of those times when we need to redirect resources to other programs."
