Agnesian HealthCare says Ripon Medical Center, St. Agnes Hospital and Waupun Memorial Hospital will no no longer provide area media outlets with birth announcement information. Agnesian says it is joining many other hospitals wishing to protect the overall safety of newborns under their care. With parental permission, Agnesian HealthCare says it will make available a pre-designed birth announcement that new parents can share with family and friends, or download to print at a local photo center.

Agnesian says this practice falls in line with recommendations from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which advises families to consider the risk they may be taking when permitting their infant’s birth announcement to be published in the newspaper or on-line.
