Safe CITY for Hope Street children
Supported by California Hospital's Trauma Services
 On Friday November 19th, over 125 children participated in the Traffic Safety CITY education program set-up in Keck Hall for the Hope Street Family Center. Children and families walked through a mini city that taught them to look for cars, stop at intersections, and be aware of their environment. This event was presented by Youth Educational Sports, Inc. (YES, Inc.) in partnership with CHMC's Trauma Services Department. 
Thanks for everyone's involvement! Trauma surgeon Dr. Contrares and CHMC Nurse Practitioner Shoko Okado, as well as many other CHMC staff, participated in the educational event--pictured here with HSFC Director Vickie Kropenske and Hope St Youth Center students.
