School’s out, which means more time for fun in the sun! Whether your kids are biking, skating, or playing sports, we want to help them stay active and injury-free.
Last summer, our emergency departments treated over 4,900 orthopedic injuries and 1,200 head injuries in children and adolescents. Let’s keep them safe on the field, at the park, and during every outdoor adventure with a few simple precautions:
⛑️ Encourage protective gear: Helmets and pads make a big difference.
⚠️ Stay aware: Remind kids to pay attention to their surroundings.
👁️ Monitor play areas: Keep an eye out to help prevent trips and falls.
Let’s make this the safest, most fun summer yet!
