Please review the following considerations prior to beginning
the online application. 

• The application must be submitted in one session. If you are unable to do this, consider copying the fields required into a separate word document that can be completed and edited prior to the final online submission.
• Use a suggested web browser. Be sure you are completing the form using one of the following web browsers: Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari
• Check your hospital firewall. If you find your hospital firewall may prevent you from uploading documents to submit electronically, please complete the fields required and email the documents separately to hospitalcertification@cribsforkids.org
• Check for a confirmation message upon submission. If after pressing “Submit,” the “Thank you! Your Hospital Application has been submitted.” text box does not appear, please scroll up through the form to ensure all fields have been properly completed.
