Huntsville Area Safe Kids

Huntsville Areas Safe Kids, a local coalition of the National Safe Kids Campaign, is a non-profit organization, which seeks to reduce unintentional injuries to children ages 14 years and under.

Unintentional injuries include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Pedestrian injuries
  • Bike accidents
  • Near drownings
  • Burns
  • Poisonings
  • Choking
  • Gun injuries
  • Falls

Safe Kids accomplishes its mission by concerted community action, including prevention programs, which facilitate public appreciation for the safety measures necessary to protect children.

In July 1997, Huntsville Hospital became the Lead Agency for Huntsville Area Safe Kids. The Coalition remains active by providing public education and awareness to potentially reduce unintentional injuries to children. Huntsville Area Safe Kids periodically sponsors child passenger safety buckle-up events in the community for the purpose of checking and installing car seats, as well as providing education and resources on child passenger safety.
