Safe sleep matters for babies. Each year 3,500 infants die suddenly and unexpectedly during sleep time. Sadly, most of these deaths are preventable. Many infant deaths are due to accidental suffocation or strangulation from unsafe sleeping environments.
As part of our Safe Sleep Initiative, STHCS is working to prevent sudden unexpected infant deaths by spreading the ABCs of Safe Sleep and by serving as a Cribs for Kids® partner organization.

Cribs for Kids® Partnership
The Cribs for Kids Program, administered by the Southern Tier Health Care System, is dedicated to providing free Pack ‘N Plays and essential baby safety items to expecting parents and caregivers in Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties. Aligned with the mission of Cribs for Kids®, a national organization striving to prevent infant deaths since 1998, our program addresses the tragic reality of 3,500 infants dying suddenly and unexpectedly during sleep each year. The majority of these deaths are preventable, often resulting from accidental suffocation or strangulation due to unsafe sleeping environments.
STHCS has established relationships with local hospitals and health-care providers to identify families who are unable to afford a crib to provide a safe sleep environment for their baby. These families are referred to our organization which determines whether or not they qualify to receive a Graco® Pack n’ Play portable crib for their baby.
