Coliseum Medical Centers will host the 2019 Child Safety Expo & Trick or Treat event on Saturday, October 26 from 10:00 a.m. to Noon.  This is a FREE event for kids and their families to learn valuable, life-saving information while having a great time!  In addition to trick or treating, families can learn safety tips on medication safety, poison control, choking hazards, car seat safety, smoking cessation and so much more!  Children can see fire trucks, law enforcement vehicles, ambulances, and even a helicopter (weather permitting).  The event will also offer tours of the Pediatric ER, games, food, and prizes.  At 11:00 a.m., there will be a costume parade featuring all of the children who are present as they show off their costumes.

Dr. John Shivdat, Medical Director of Emergency Medicine at Coliseum Medical Centers said, “As an emergency physician, I know the importance of preventing accidents that can cause serious injury or sickness. This is a great opportunity for parents to learn important safety tips that they can implement in their homes.”

The event will be held on the campus of Coliseum Medical Centers (350 Hospital Drive; Macon, GA  31217) and is sponsored by Coliseum Medical Centers and Coliseum Northside Hospital.  Both hospitals have dedicated pediatric emergency room space to treat Middle Georgia’s smallest patients.
