Childcare Options

MGH is expanding its childcare options and assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic and is interested in hearing your views.

If you have children or other family members who need care, MGH wants to hear from you. The reopening of school, child care or elder care programs is weighing heavily on the minds of working parents and Mass General Brigham Human Resources is looking to identify areas where we can provide additional support. Please complete this confidential survey to help us learn more about the challenges you may be facing.
