New York City Safe Kids Coalition “Walk This Way-Safe Kids Walk” October 4, 2017

The Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital is a member of the NY City Safe Kids Coalition. NY City Safe Kids is “a coalition of educators, health care professionals and child advocates that is devoted to helping keep children healthy and free from unintentional injuries.” Our catchment area includes Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island.

Safety events are held throughout the year in NY City. “Walk This Way-Safe Kids Walk” was held on October 4, 2017. Sponsored by NYC Safe Kids Coalition, Safe Kids World Wide and Fed-Ex, Walk This Way brings local and national attention to pedestrian safety issues. With hands raised high up in the air and carrying signs saying " STOP for PEDESTRIANS" and "PARE para LOS PEATONES" in Spanish, we walked with approximately 50 third grade students from their school , PS 4, on West 160 Street to Access Safety City, a few city blocks away.
