(KLZA)-- Community Medical Center of Falls City is partnering with Southeast Safety for Kids (SSK), the Southeast Safe Kids Coalition and the Four County Collaborative to provide a check up event for child passenger safety.

The event will be held on Wednesday, October 19th starting at 3:30 pm and concluding at 5:30 pm on the west side of Community Medical Center in the drive-through garage. The area can be accessed via the north driveway.

Nationally-certified child passenger safety technicians will be on hand to assist parents and other caregivers in correctly securing children from birth through age 13 in motor vehicles.
