The Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Kit is a child-sized
ambulance equipment kit which was compiled to meet most on-scene emergency needs of children. The kits are donated
to fire departments and ambulance services under the auspices of the
local Kiwanis clubs in each community.
A typical kit contains special equipment which ambulance personnel may need to properly care for a small child, as well as a stuffed animal for the child.
Nearly 18 years ago, a group of concerned citizens joined together as "Friends of Kiwanis Pediatric Center." Their sole purpose was to raise funds with which to purchase Pediatric Trauma Kits and donate them to area EMS divisions of local fire departments.
The ingredients of these kits are child sized and geared for children from infancy to 18 years of age. Since its inceptions, over 250 kits have been donated. As you read the list that follows, if your community is not there, call your local Kiwanis Club or Fire Department. Find out why you are not include in this free, and voluntary program.
