HSHS St. John’s Foundation has committed $25,000 to launch a program to help provide a safe sleep environment for babies.
The program through HSHS St. John’s Children’s Hospital will provide wearable sleep sacks, fitted sheets and portable cribs as well as education on safe sleep.
The foundation says most of the 3,000 sudden unexpected infant deaths each year are preventable by following the ABCs of safe sleep—alone, on their backs, and in their own crib with no pillows, toys or blankets.
