Saguache County Health and Safety Event
The concept of the Health and Safety Event came from a suggestion from Valley-Wide Health Services who were interested in making stronger connections in the KV Estates. HEART of Saguache/KV hosted the event for the first time in 2018 at the KV Clubhouse as an outreach specifically for KV residents. It was later suggested that HEART should do a similar event in Saguache so that more people could participate and attend.
The event was held on October 19 on the Saguache County Courthouse lawn as a partnership with the Saguache Volunteer Fire Department and the Northern Saguache County Ambulance District made possible in part by a generous Saguache County Sales Tax Grant to Alpine Achievers Initiative. |
The highlight of the event are the talks on Fire Prevention and First Aid Awareness. Those who attend and sign up for the talks receive a free fire extinguisher, smoke/carbon monoxide detector and first aid kit respectively. In addition a free lunch was served and a community resource fair was included giving all the non-profits and entities that provide services in the community to present information about themselves.
