UMass Memorial – Marlborough Hospital’s 19th Annual Safe Summer Fun Day

This free, child-oriented health and safety event took place on the front lawn of Marlborough Hospital at 157 Union Street, Marlborough.

The event’s claim to fame is every year, several hundred free bike helmets are fitted and given away by trained Marlborough Hospital caregivers. The event also features many hands-on hospital exhibits and educational booths created and supported by hospital staff, Board Trustees and members of hospital-affiliated councils, such as our Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC). Community partners also participate in the event to create opportunities for the local community to explore emergency vehicles, learn new ways to stay healthy, promote summer safety for kids and their families, and to get to know their neighbors. The UMass Memorial Health Care Life Flight air ambulance offers tours of their rescue helicopter as well. This year’s long-standing and supportive community partners include The Cottage Children’s Center and Villaris Martial Arts, both located in Marlborough.

If your local organization would like to host a healthcare-focused educational booth at Safe Summer Fun Day or if you would like to volunteer, contact Ellen Carlucci at 508-486-5807 and ellen.carlucci@umassmemorial.org
