Riley’s Safety Store

On May 5, 2005 Riley Hospital for Children opened the country’s first ever Safety Store to provide low-cost injury prevention products and safety information for the families of all children, including children with disabilities or special health care needs. Bike helmets, smoke detectors, cabinet locks, outlet covers and carbon monoxide detectors are among the products that are available to families statewide for the first time in a children’s hospital setting.

To further support this mission, Riley Hospital for Children hosted the launch of the comprehensive Get On Board with Child Safety injury prevention campaign in Indiana. To kick off the grand opening of the Safety Store and the Get on Board with Child Safety campaign, car seats were distributed to Riley patients and their siblings free of charge from noon to 4 pm following the press conference. The car seat donation will continue to occur on a weekly basis and is made possible through support from Dorel Juvenile Group USA.
