This is especially true when considering the number of children who are injured each year due to poor child passenger safety and bicycle safety. To help keep children safe in vehicles and at play, IU Health implemented statewide efforts to improve child passenger safety and to increase bicycle helmet use. IU Health s statewide child passenger safety campaign educates the community on the safety concerns of children traveling unrestrained or incorrectly restrained in vehicles. Coordinated with the Automotive Safety Program at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health, the campaign aims to decrease the number of preventable injuries associated with these unsafe practices. IU Health conducted eight coordinated car seat clinics in communities across the state as part of Child Passenger Safety Week and the National Car Seat Check Saturday initiative. This is something I have done before, but I found the staff to be very helpful not only by making it easy to install the seats properly and securely, but also in watching my kids while they demonstrated how to do so. I think it s something that all parents should do, Joe Martinsen, Muncie IU Health, working cooperatively with Emmis Community Outreach, engaged and educated Indiana children on the importance of bicycle safety.
