Carissa Horton, PA-C in the Geary Community Hospital Rural Health Clinic has been named a Safe Sleep Trainer following completion of a Wichita, Ks train-the-trainer session put on by the Kansas Infant Death and SIDS (KIDS) Network.

Horton learned how to best teach healthcare providers, parents, childcare providers, other caregivers and community members about the dangers in traditional sleep environments and how to create a safe sleep environment.

Horton will be available to offer the local sessions on safe sleep that formerly required a representative from Wichita to travel to the area. To schedule Horton for a safe sleep training session contact Jill Nelson, Delivering Change: Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies Program Coordinator at 785-238-3787.
