The Period of Purple Crying

Salem Hospital Foundation, Polk County

Period of Purple is an evidence-based prevention program designed to prevent shaken baby syndrome (SBS).

This program is a collaboration of four county regions and includes a significant outreach effort to educate the community about SBS thereby reducing its incidence.
