More than 100 adults and children gathered to learn about how to prevent injuries and stay healthy Saturday during Kids' Safety Day at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest. The activities ranged from low tech to high tech solutions, from hand washing to palm scanning, from tours of a MedEvac helicopter to virtual tours of the new Children's ER.

Inside the Kasych Pavilion, participants could learn about a wide range of topics that included child passenger safety, how to avoid trauma and burn injuries,  effective hand-washing and how to be a good babysitter. Salisbury Township police officers made copies of children's fingerprints, which their parents could keep for identification.
