Iowa Hospital adds 'safety room' store to facility

The Hannah Geneser Learning Center opened inside Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines

The Hannah Geneser Learning Center, a new safety store, opened inside Des Moines' Blank Children's Hospital recently – seven years after 4-year-old Hannah Geneser fell out of a third-story window at a birthday party, according to an article on the KCCi website.

The store filled with items to keep children safe — such as window guards, helmets and car seats.

All products are sold at a discounted price.
