Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of death among healthy infants under the age of one year. While the rate of SIDS is dropping nationally, it is nearly twice the national average in the Philadelphia area. Since 2004, the Cribs for Kids program has supplied, free of charge, over 6,000 cribs to needy and at risk families in its service area. Additionally, the family receives education and training on proper sleep position and sleep environment for their infants along with referral services to their health and human services providers.
