Gouverneur Hospital registering local children, issuing Safe Child ID Cards Thursday

Posted

GOUVERNEUR -- For National Hospital Week, Gouverneur Hospital is partnering with the St. Lawrence County Sheriffs’ Association to register local children with the New York State Safe Child ID Card.

This card contains the child’s name; biographical information including date of birth, gender, height, weight, hair color and eye color; and a fingerprint image of both index fingers.

It takes less than two minutes and can be easily carried in a wallet or pocketbook, according to a press release from Gouverneur Hospital.

The cards allow law enforcement quick access to pertinent information that could assist an investigation or search in the event a child is missing.

Deputy Ryan Bogardus will be onsite to register local children from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, May 12 in the hospital’s Community Room, in the east wing of the former nursing home at 77 West Barney St.
