New Safe Haven Baby Box at Covington Co. Hospital
SUMMARY: Covington County Hospital in Mississippi is now home to a Safe Haven baby box, providing mothers in crisis with a safe place to surrender their newborns. The hospital hosted a blessing ceremony for the baby box, offering an alternative for women who are not ready for motherhood. This new option allows mothers to give up their babies anonymously within 45 days of birth. The baby box maintains a constant temperature and has alarms to alert authorities when a baby is placed inside. The Covington County Republican women raised $20,000 in donations to purchase the baby box, which is the third of its kind in Mississippi.
A blessing was held at the Covington County Hospital for its Safe Haven Baby Box on Tuesday.
