Center for Infant and Child Loss

Center for Infant and Child Loss For 50 years CICL have provided grief support, education, training, outreach to bereaved families

The Center for Infant & Child Loss, formerly the Maryland Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Information and Counseling Program, was established in 1975 by the State of Maryland to comply with the mandates of the SIDS act of 1974. The Center is a program within the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, working in partnership with UMMS and Division of Neonatology and funded, in part, by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH), Center for Maternal and Child Health. The Center for Infant & Child Loss, Maryland's Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Program, is housed at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. The Center receives a grant from DHMH that funds approximately 35% to 40% of the annual operating budget. The fundraising efforts and donations received cover 60% to 65% of the annual operating budget. The Center depends heavily on donations to continue serving families at a time of incredible need and vulnerability. The Center’s premier golf event covers roughly 1/3 of the Center’s operating budget annually. The Center is a Maryland statewide program designed to be family oriented and community based, and to assure a compassionate response in the sudden and unexpected death of an infant or child. The purpose of the Center is to assist families to learn to live with the loss of their child and have hope for the future.

Today was a very good day for the Center for Infant & Child Loss. Our phenomenal organization was recognized on the floor of the House of Delegates in honor of 50 years of providing compassionate grief support services across the state of Maryland.

This recognition reflects the dedication, commitment, and heart that each of you brings to this mission. For five decades, CICL has stood beside families in their most difficult moments, offering care, connection, and hope—and today, that impact was acknowledged at the highest level in our state.
