Woodlawn Health, in partnership with the Fulton County Health Department, announces a car seat event on Nov. 1 at the hospital's visitor entrance from 4-6 p.m. The theme of the event will be Wizard of Oz. Children will receive candy, and adults will be able to learn essential safety tips for keeping their children (munchkins) safe.

“Part of our job as a health system is to care for everyone from birth to the elderly. We want to keep kids safe and healthy, so we must host this event for our neighbors in partnership with many community organizations," Woodlawn Health CEO Alan Fisher said. "It is just one of the many ways our team is working to earn the right to care for our community that most of us call home."

Those community partners include the Woodlawn Health Auxiliary, Fulton County Health Department and the Northern Indiana Community Foundation.

Participants can line up under the canopy of the visitor entrance starting at 4 p.m. Based on the evaluation, car seats may be provided for those who need a safer option.
