The Safe Sleep Summit, to be held on May 3, 2010, will involve the leaders from our city’s healthcare institutions, government, businesses, and community and faith-based organizations.  The group will review national, state and local infant mortality data, discuss the relationship between unsafe sleep and infant death, and build consensus for a consistent message on safe sleep.  For information about the problem and how you can keep your baby safe, click here. 

Although the number of babies who died after sleeping in an unsafe sleep environment dropped in 2008, the overall rate of such deaths has remained high in the last decade, prompting public health officials to launch a provocative city-wide safe sleep campaign to prevent them.  Click on the links below or go to our Safe Sleep web page for more information.
