Loup Basin Public Health Department is the first Health Department in Nebraska to become a Nebraska Safe Sleep Clinic Champion and the 5th clinic in the state. The Safe Sleep campaign was established to provide consistency, evidence-based messaging on safe sleep, abusive head trauma/shaken baby syndrome, and the crying plan to Nebraska families. These consistent messages would benefit many families with babies under one year that our physicians regularly see.
| “The stresses of parenthood can be intense, but with proper education, DHHS and partners are helping parents understand the right way to deal with a crying infant. This program provides us with another route to share messages. We want caregivers to hear the same message wherever the care of their child happens to take them." said program director Jackie Moline, Maternal Infant Program Manager for the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). |
