Pictured is Pamela Sutton-Wallace and her two
daughters.
In this episode, we bring you an exclusive interview with
Pamela Sutton-Wallace, a healthcare executive at a New York City
hospital that is one of the largest in the U.S. She took on the
role just weeks before the pandemic turned the city into a
coronavirus hotspot.
Sutton-Wallace shares her decades of personal and professional
experience as a leader in the healthcare industry while raising her
children. She tells us how she expects the coronavirus will change
family leave policies. She talks about the guidance she gives to
women looking to advance in their careers while balancing demands
of childcare and caring for aging relatives. And she discusses the
demands on the “sandwich generation” — adults caring for an aging
parent who are also raising children or supporting them
financially. Sutton-Wallace has two college-age daughters and her
own mother lives with her.
This is the second in a two-part series in which ESG Insider
explores the ways corporate America is responding to COVID-19 and
finding ways to retain employees. In the first part, we discussed
research into gender, parental leave and family caregiving policies
in the U.S. private sector, which S&P Global conducted in
partnership with AARP.
