Health and Wellness

The Emergency Services Department at Harlingen Medical Center also offers educational programs on health and wellness. One of these is the Safe Riders Child Safety Seat Distribution and Education Program. The program is designed primarily for parents, in an effort to provide them with basic information about child passenger safety, an overview of the need for restraining children, types of child restraints and how to use them, and resources for additional information.
