 CHILDREN’S
HEALTH MINUTE

60 Second Radio Feature MP3
"Summer Safety”
FOR AIR WEEK OF June 10, 2002
Kids love the
summertime, but did you know it's also
the most dangerous time of the year
for children?
Hi, I'm Dr. John
Hellerstedt with the Children's Health
Minute, presented by this station
and TexCare - connecting Texas families
with children's health insurance for
18 dollars a month or less.
Accidental injury
is the number one reason children
die. And according to the National
SAFE KIDS campaign, nearly half of
all injury-related childhood deaths
occur during the summer months.
The good news is,
there are ways to make your child's
summer a safer one. Always keep an
eye on kids in or near the water;
drowning is the greatest risk for
children 14 and younger. Children
must wear a helmet when riding a bicycle,
scooter or skateboard. And make sure
they're secured in a seat belt or
a child safety seat when riding in
the car.
Be safe and have
a great summer!
Keep your kids
healthy. Call TexCare at 1-800-647-6558
to apply or when it's time to renew
your children's health care coverage.
That's 1-800-647-6558."
