UT Health East Texas was proud to participate in the Take a Kid Fishing Water Safety Community Event at Lake Murvaul Marina, where more than 100 children participated and learned essential water safety skills thanks to our dedicated team.
Through fun, hands-on education, children gained knowledge that could help keep them safe around the water this summer and beyond. Caregivers also had the opportunity to conduct car seat checks, reinforcing the importance of proper installation and usage.
This event was made possible through the collaboration of several outstanding community partners, including UT Health Carthage, UT Health East Texas EMS, UT Health Trauma Services, RAC-G and the Longview Fire Department.
Events like these highlight the power of community, education and prevention in keeping families safe. A big thank you to everyone involved in making this event such a success!
