Safe Havens in Indiana

You may go to the emergency room of any hospital in the state of Indiana and leave your baby with an employee. (Hospital employees usually wear name badges, either clipped to a pocket, or hanging from their neck.)

You can also give leave your baby with a firefighter, law enforcement officer, paramedic, emergency medical technician (EMT).

It is important to understand that you must leave your baby with a person, and not, for example, in a bathroom at a hospital. Newborn children need lots of tender care.
