Employees promote safe sleep practices

During the Week of the Young Child event at the Northwest Community Center, Women and Children’s Hospital staff members Destiny and Jessica promoted safe sleep practices and the importance of infant Sleep Sacks. They set up a demonstration, showcasing the dos and don’ts of Pack-n-Play setups for sleep, ensuring our community members understand how to create a safe sleep environment for babies. Thank you, Destiny and Jessica, for your dedication to keeping our little ones safe and sound!

And, a huge thank you to our donors who help us provide Sleep Sacks for every baby born at UW Health Women and Children’s Hospital in Rockford. Let’s continue spreading awareness and prioritizing the well-being of our youngest community members.
