In the month of April 2009, MATTHEW WALKER COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CENTER had a great time sharing and working with the Nashville community. During April we hosted the April Showers Baby Shower, the See Me Safe Booster Seat Event and the Reviving Double Dutch Final Competition.
Over 50 women and children turned out for the baby shower, who were patients of the MATTHEW WALKER COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CENTER prenatal program. Each Expecting mother received all sorts of great gifts and information for mom and baby including infant mortality education, diapers and gift baskets. We also raffled off over 15 infant car seats to expecting moms who attended the event.
On the same day, in the afternoon, we hosted the See Me Safe Booster Seat Event in conjunction with Meharry Medical College. During this event we reached out to an additional 20 families and gave away over 75 infant and booster car safety seats. Each family was trained on proper car seat installation and each seat was specifically fitted for the child and vehicle present. The seats given to new moms were fitted to the size of an average infant and the vehicle present. Each expecting mom was trained on how to install the seat and strap in the infant safely.
The Reviving Double Dutch Competition was hosted by MATTHEW WALKER COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CENTER and sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services Regional IV Offices in Atlanta, Georgia and 92Q Cumulus Broadcasting Station. The Center was awarded a grant to facilitate the Reviving Double Dutch Competition in the Nashville Community, the program sought to motivate, educate and empower children ages 8 to 18 years old to increase their free-time physical activity levels. The final competition was a hit in the community and the winning team won a grand prize of $1,000. For more information check out our News & Media link under "Community Corner".
