All Commonwealth Health emergency rooms participate in Safe Haven for Pennsylvania Newborns. The Pennsylvania Safe Haven law gives parents a safe, legal alternative to abandoning their baby. It allows parents to bring their newborn (up to 28 days old) to any Pennsylvania hospital or to a police officer at a police station without the fear of criminal prosecution, as long as the baby has not been harmed. Pennsylvania is one of 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico that have enacted safe haven legislation.
