Kids’ Day, a popular community celebration at Putnam Hospital, is back and will take place from noon to 4 pm on Saturday, September 14, on the hospital campus at 670 Stoneleigh Avenue.

 

This will be the 15th Kids’ Day hosted by the Putnam Hospital Auxiliary.

 

“Kids’ Day is a fun and festive way to take part in your community,” said John Mahoney, manager of Volunteer Resources. “We look forward to bringing together organizations from all over Putnam County to celebrate children and families.”

 

Join Dr. Bear for this fun-filled day that includes a host of interactive health and safety exhibits, along with kids’ crafts, child identification program and a teddy bear clinic. Hospital departments will be on hand to provide information on nutrition, emergency care, physical therapy and more. There will be demonstrations on car seat safety, proper bicycle helmet use and heart monitoring, as well as fire truck and ambulance tours.

 

Families can also enjoy a variety of games, inflatable bouncy attractions, hayrides, food trucks and a meet-and-greet with costumed characters. Raffles and kids’ baskets created by hospital departments will also be awarded.
