Manatee Memorial Hospital Staff Receive Crucial Training on Infant Safe Sleep Practices

Manatee Memorial Hospital recently hosted a vital Sleep Baby Safely Training, equipping staff in the Women’s and Children’s Unit with the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent infant sleep-related deaths. Led by expert presenters Vicky Morgan and Wyonna Milton, the hands-on session focused on educating healthcare professionals on proper safe sleep practices and how to effectively support families with lifesaving information.

The training incorporated real-life scenarios, local data, and expert guidance to reinforce the importance of safe sleep environments for infants. By ensuring that hospital staff are well-informed and prepared to educate parents and caregivers, the initiative aims to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related fatalities.

With a shared commitment to community health and infant safety, this effort strengthens the support network for families in Manatee County. By prioritizing proper education and prevention strategies, healthcare providers and advocates are working together to create a safer future for the youngest members of our community.
