Prosser Memorial Health Holding Free Summer Safety Event May 17 at Primary Care Clinics

The sun is shing and temperatures are rising; summer is near! And the best way to enjoy your summer is by doing so safely. That is why Prosser Memorial Health is back with their Summer Safety Event on May 17, 2023, at our Primary Care Clinics. The event will include food, treats, activities, and water safety tips for the whole family.  

Water activities may feel like the easiest way to keep cool on hot summer days, but it’s important to remember that, like most outdoor activities, they must be done with safety in mind. Anyone can run the risk of drowning when they enter a body of water, even experienced swimmers. For young children, it is one of the leading causes of preventable death. This is why it is so important to practice and teach safe habits. Even adult activities, like boating or water sports where children may not be involved, should be done with the proper equipment and safety measures. Prosser Memorial wants to make sure that everyone heads into the summer ready to tackle the heat while also staying safe! 

The Summer Safety Event will take place on Wednesday, May 17th from 4-6pm at our Prosser Clinic, Benton City Clinic, and Grandview clinic. This is a free family-friendly event, and we will be giving out life jackets for children while supplies last.
