MGH Chelsea shares safety tips

Parents and children learned some important safety lessons at the MGH Chelsea HealthCare Center's annual Family Summer Safety Fair and Bike Rodeo held June 10. In preparation for the months of warm weather activities ahead, volunteers performed bike and helmet safety checks to ensure that both were appropriately sized for each child. The Child Identification Program (CHIP) took dental images, fingerprints and videos of young attendees for parents to keep on record in the event of an emergency. Educational materials about sun, home, water, fire and car safety also were available for families. Other fun activities included face-painting, bike raffles, hula-hoop and coloring book contests and live entertainment.
