Program On Pediatric Safety

NEW MILFORD — Pediatrician Frank Fanella, MD, and orthopedic surgeon John Mullen, MD, will present “Pediatric Safety: Avoiding Injuries and Accidents” on Tuesday, April 13, at 6:45 pm at New Milford Hospital.

Injuries, especially sports-related, are a common problem for active youth, but expert advice helps parents and children avoid the emergency room. Prevention starts with education about proper nutrition, conditioning, equipment, and planning. When accidents do occur, prompt and appropriate treatment can help get the child back on track.

Drs Fanella and Mullen will address the best ways to prevent injuries and will give professional advice on treatment methods. They will explain what to expect and what critical questions to ask if your child is injured.

The program is free and open to the public. Preregister by calling 860-350-7215.
