Woodland Heights Medical Center to host Super Safety Saturday Event

10/21/2024

Lufkin, TX (October 21, 2024) – Woodland Heights Medical Center will host the 3rd Annual Super Safety Saturday (a FREE safety fair event) on Saturday, November 2, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Woodland Heights parking lot (loop side of the hospital).

“The start of school and the beginning of the hectic holiday season is a good time to remind the community of ways to stay safe,” said Stephen Bennett, Woodland Heights Medical Center’s emergency services director. “We wanted a way to reach kids and families to teach safety with hands-on demonstrations and activities. We hope that families will take advantage of this free event that offers both education and fun.”

Super Safety Saturday is a free family event. Participants will meet first responders, learn about school & animal safety, search and rescue, and so much more. Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) will be on hand offering car seat and booster installation checks. There will be games, give-a-ways and lots of fun. Each child can enter into a drawing to win a bike and helmet.

“We hope to have at least 100 bicycles to raffle,” states Bennett. “Our team at Woodland Heights has a passion for caring for people and seeing families learn and prepare for emergencies is the first step to a safer and healthier community.”

In addition to TXDOT, there are many community partners that will be at the event, including Lufkin Fire Department, Lufkin Police Department, Texas Department of Transportation, Texas A&M Forest Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lufkin Coca-Cola and many others.
