Safe Haven Baby Box
The Safe Haven Baby Box allows a parent to surrender a newborn infant with complete anonymity (for privacy reasons, the Safe Haven Baby Box area is not under video surveillance). When an infant is placed inside the temperature-controlled box, an alarm is set off, and first responders rush to retrieve the baby within 4 minutes.
The Marion Health Safe Haven Baby Box is located below the MGH Campus helipad, near the corner of N. Wabash Avenue and W. Jeffras Avenue in Marion. The Safe Haven Baby Box at Marion Health East is located at the NE corner of the building on the East side of the building near the ambulance bay entrance. This location is also out of security camera visualization to ensure anonymity.
