Today is Injury Prevention Day — a nationwide reminder that many of the injuries we see in emergency rooms and urgent cares are preventable with simple, everyday safety habits. As a designated Trauma Center, we see firsthand how falls, burns, motor-vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and household mishaps can impact families across the Mid Valley. The good news: small steps can make a big difference. A few ways to stay safe: • Keep walkways clear to prevent falls • Always wear seat belts and secure children in proper car seats • Use helmets during biking, riding, or sports • Store medications and cleaning products safely • Practice caution when cooking or using heat sources Knapp Medical Center’s award-winning Emergency Department and Mid Valley Urgent Care are here when accidents happen — but Injury Prevention Day reminds us that we can all play a role in avoiding them.
