MICHIGAN CITY — A Safe Haven Baby Box was blessed Tuesday morning and placed at Franciscan Health Michigan City, the first hospital in Indiana to receive a baby box.

The baby box is outside next to the Emergency Department Ambulance garage at the hospital and is in a heated and air conditioned room with its own ventilation. It is available to new mothers who want to use Indiana's Safe Haven law which enables a person to give up an unwanted infant anonymously without fear of arrest or prosecution.

An alarm sounds in the Emergency Department when the box is used, notifying staff to immediately tend to the baby.
