A reserach study has shown that the use of bike helmets reduces the risk of head injury by 85 percent. Given this statistic, INTEGRIS Canadian Valley Regional Hospital decided to put together a Bike Safety Rodeo equipped with educational stations that focused on general bike safety and maintenance.

INTEGRIS Canadian Valley Regional Hospital is a 44-bed primary care facility with a full range of services. The hospital offers a high level of technology in a rural setting. It has a medical roster of more than 200 physicians in various specialties. The hospital has 30 private medical surgical rooms, a 10-bed women’s unit and a newly constructed 4-bed intensive care unit.

Adopt-an-Angel

Shampoo and sweaters … slippers and socks … there seemed to be no end to the supply of holiday gifts collected by the CareTeam at INTEGRIS Canadian Valley Regional Hospital. Yuletide spirits were surpassed only by the generosity of the givers, as the collection of practical presents was donated to several area care facilities, including Mustang Manor, the Tuttle Care Center and Gran Gran’s Place.

Girl Scouts Tour Yukon Hospital

Fourth and fifth graders from the Sooner Council Girl Scout Troop were treated to a guided tour of Yukon’s INTEGRIS Canadian Valley Regional Hospital. The scouts were seeking information and service opportunities to increase their knowledge of health care and help them earn Girl Scout merit badges. After the tour and an extensive Q & A session, the troop was presented with a new first aid kit.

Canadian Valley Foundation Hosts Community Events

In most circumstances, when you hear the word foundation, the thought of money, in-kind gifts, and fundraising comes to mind. But for the foundation board at INTEGRIS Canadian Valley Regional Hospital, you can also think of community returnship! Recently, the INTEGRIS Canadian Valley Regional Hospital Foundation board partnered with the SafeKids Coalition in sponsoring two free community events at the hospital.

Child Safety Seat Check-Up

With a recent study that found four out of five car seats are used incorrectly, INTEGRIS Canadian Valley Regional Hospital Foundation board members were quick to host a “Child Safety Seat Check-Up.” More than 30 folks came to have their individual child seats checked for proper installation, proper child/weight/age ratio, and proper maintenance and care of their child seats. Due to various safety circumstances, SafeKids Coalition and the hospital were able to provide eight free car seats at the event.

Bike Safety Rodeo

A research study has shown that the use of bike helmets reduces the risk of head injury by 85 percent. So with this in mind, a Bike Safety Rodeo was held on the hospital grounds with more than 30 boys and girls participating. Various educational stations were set up and focused on proper hand signal use, traffic signs and signals, proper helmet use and fit, and general bike safety and maintenance. Each participant who completed the safety stations and obstacle course received a new bicycle helmet, free.
