Who are SIDS Coordinators? Does every county have one?
SIDS Coordinators are identified as the designated public health professional within each local health jurisdiction with training and knowledge about SIDS. This individual is a public health nurse or social worker who represents their city or county health department in matters related to SIDS. They serve as the liaison between the State DHS SIDS Program and the California SIDS Program and among other SIDS Coordinators. Their assignment to this position is determined at the local level. Certain jurisdictions have named two individuals to share this role and these professionals are identified as SIDS Co-Coordinators.
