Safe Haven Baby Box
Safe Haven Baby Boxes offer a compassionate and secure option for mothers in crisis who are unable to care for their newborns. Designed with innovative safety features and installed on the exterior walls of fire stations and hospitals, each box ensures the safe and anonymous surrender of infants. The exterior door locks automatically when a newborn is placed inside, and an interior door allows medical personnel to promptly and securely retrieve the baby, ensuring immediate care and protection. Safe Haven Baby Boxes are a vital resource, providing a lifeline for mothers and a safe beginning for their newborns.
Weiser Memorial Hospital’s Safe Haven Baby Box is located at 645 E 5th St
by the ambulance bay awning.
When an infant is surrendered at this location, our 24/7 Emergency Department staff will be alerted. This means they can immediately receive the infant and assess them medically. Staff will ensure the infant is cared for and contact Child Protective Services, who will begin the adoption process once the infant is cleared medically.
“If we can save just one life,
it’s all worth it.”
