Educating and Empowering: Lee Health’s Touch-A-Truck Event Promotes Trauma Awareness through Hands-on Experience with First Responders

Lee Health recently hosted its annual Touch-A-Truck event to educate families about trauma awareness. This event is designed to bring families together and provide a hands-on experience with various types of emergency vehicles. By interacting with first responders, paramedics, firefighters, police officers, and other emergency personnel, children and adults can learn more about the roles these individuals play in keeping the community safe and responding to emergencies.

Through this event, families can also gain a better understanding of the importance of trauma care and the resources available to those in need. The Touch-A-Truck event is not only an educational experience but also helps raise awareness about the critical work that emergency responders do every day.

Participants at the event were able to ask questions and learn more about the services provided by Lee Health and other emergency responders. This hands-on experience allowed families to gain a deeper appreciation for the work that these professionals do on a daily basis. Overall, the Touch-A-Truck event was a fun and educational experience that helped promote trauma awareness and safety in the community.
