New lactation pod installed at MVP Arena

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- A new Mamava pod has been installed at the MVP Arena on the atrium landing outside sections 101/130. The pod has ventilation fans for air circulation and white noise, two benches, power and USB outlets, and a calm space for all lactation needs.

“We know the importance of lactation rooms, as we already see in our county office buildings," said Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy. "That is why we were committed to offering a lactation pod at the arena. Mothers, their babies, and the entire family can enjoy events together and have the safety, privacy, and convenience of this important space thanks to our partnership with MVP Health Care.”

Parents can download the free Mamava app to find and unlock the pod, check availability, get vacancy alerts, and adjust interior lights. Soft-sided cooler bags and pumping equipment are allowed.
