Infant Safe Sleep Programs in Minnesota Virtual Listening Sessions
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) will host three virtual listening sessions to learn from hospitals/clinics, local public health agencies, and non-profit organizations about how they implement infant safe sleep programs in Minnesota. Through these listening sessions, MDH hopes to gather professionals working in these settings to learn about their experiences, successes and challenges related to the infant safe sleep programs in their organizations. The information gathered from the listening sessions will be used to inform the activities of the Minnesota Infant Safe Sleep Collaborative.
