Thanksgiving Fun and Just in Case-First Aid!

Families across our nation travel and gather during the week of Thanksgiving to celebrate the coming together of victories, ending of droughts, and the joy of great harvests. With generations of family members celebrating over an extensive meal, weeklong gatherings, holiday shopping, vacation preparations and elaborate meals to honor the season.

From Corn hole to Football, oven roasting to frying a turkey, this is the number one holiday with the most burns, lacerations, and heart attacks reports in ERs. With so much fun involved it is important to be prepared for those uncalculated moments of cuts, burns, breaks, colds, flus and more.
