KidSafe Holiday
The holidays and winter months are a joyous time of the year for kids and adults alike. But changes in routine and the excitement of the season can keep people from being as safety-conscious as they usually are.
The Academy wants you and your patients to have a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season. The KidSafe Holiday campaign helps inform the public of some of the ENT-related safety risks that may come from holiday celebrations and winter activities.
Use the #KidSafeHoliday hashtag to help spread the message and follow our ENTHealth.org Twitter account for patients: @BeENTsmart
