Tribune Review: All babies born at Excela Health Westmoreland Hospital’s Family Additions Maternity Center will be sent home with two sleep sacks under a grant from the Westmoreland/Frick Hospital Foundation.
Staff at the center have long used the sleep sacks to swaddle infants in their first hours of life, but now their parents will get monogrammed garments to continue safe sleeping practices at home, according to health system officials. There are about 1,250 babies born at the hospital annually and the foundation has committed about $21,000 for the project in 2022.
