Safe Kids Skagit County

Who We Are

Safe Kids Skagit County is a member of Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations dedicated to preventing accidental injury. Safe Kids Skagit County was founded in 2001.

Skagit County Medic One coordinates local injury prevention efforts as the proud sponsoring agency for Safe Kids Skagit County. Skagit County Safe Kids works to prevent accidental childhood injury, the leading killer of children 14 and under.

What We Do

Unintentional injuries are leading cause of death in the United States for children 14 and under. These injuries, such as head trauma due to being hit by cars or falling off a bike or from a vehicle crash, are those which usually can be prevented by giving more attention to safety.

Skagit County Medic One and Skagit County Safe Kids are leaders in child passenger safety and bicycle safety. You will see us at local events spreading information about our programs. You also will find us teaching CPR and First Aid at local schools and at events teaching parents on how to properly install and use a car seat.
