FHN Memorial Hospital is a Safe Haven for babies. If you are pregnant and unable to keep your baby after it’s born, you may legally hand your unharmed baby, up to 30 days old, to a staff member at the hospital. Your baby will be given medical care and be adopted by a loving family. You don’t have to give your name or any other information to anyone. You will not be breaking any laws. But, you will be giving your baby the gift of life. For confidential information or help, call 1-888-510-2229.
