At the presser, Mayor Reeves announced the Pensacola Fire Department and Escambia County Healthy Start have partnered to educate local families about unsafe infant sleep environments to reduce infant sleep mortality in the Pensacola community. Escambia County has one of the state’s highest rates of infant deaths related to an unsafe sleep environment.  In 2021, 30% of all infant deaths in Escambia County were such fatalities. Ninety percent of the deaths were outside a crib or bassinet, and 70% occurred while sleeping with others. Healthy Start’s Direct On Scene Education (DOSE) safe sleep program trains first responders to identify unsafe sleep environments while responding to emergency and non-emergency calls.  Healthy Start executive director Allyson Anderson has the details.
