UM Baltimore Washington Medical Center earns gold level ‘Safe Sleep’ recertification

The University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center received the gold level “Safe Sleep” recertification from Cribs for Kids. This is the second time the hospital has met the standard for receiving gold level certification. Ensuring hospital care teams and families have the resources to promote safe sleep practices is important as it helps reduce the risk of sudden infant death, accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed and unsafe sleep injuries for infants.
