Email this pageThe Safe Kids Athens Kickoff Event is set for Tuesday, February 14th at 10:00 A.M. at Athens Regional Medical Center in the Medical Services Building, Room C/G.
Info from the Coalition Coordinator, Kathy Sego:
Come learn how you and your organization can help prevent childhood injury! The Safe Kids Athens Kickoff event celebrates the start of a local coalition supported by Safe Kids Georgia. Safe Kids Athens is dedicated to preventing unintentional childhood injury. The problem is clear: more children aged 1 to 14 die from accidents such as motor vehicle crashes, drowning, suffocation, and fires than any other cause. By working together, we can prevent childhood injury in our community through education, awareness, and advocacy.
Address for directions:
Athens Regional Medical Center
1199 Prince Avenue
Athens, GA 30606
New Partnership:
The Traffic Safety Research and Evaluation Group (TSREG) is a strong supporter of this coalition. TSREG’s vision is dedicated to reducing the morbidity and mortality caused by highway traffic crashes. As a local stakeholder in traffic safety, Safe Kids Athens’ partnership with TSREG is an invaluable resource for the Athens community. We look forward to future collaboration and many successful events with Safe Kids Athens and we extend a cordial invitation to any interested media representatives to make this event a successful one.
