Child in a car safety seat
Sonora, CA – Tuolumne County Public Health is praising two local healthcare providers for supporting its Childhood Safety Program.
Adventist Health Sonora (AHS) has donated thousands to support the program. Public Health officials report the gift will go towards purchasing car seats for low-income and underserved children in the county.
“We are incredibly grateful to Adventist Health Sonora for their generous $5,000 donation to our Childhood Safety Program!” shared county health officials, adding, Thank you for helping keep our community’s children safe.”
The funding ensures that families have access to critical safety tools. Health officials have already begun ordering the approved car seats.
Additionally, health officials thanked the Tuolumne Me-Wuk Indian Health Center for holding four car seat safety check events in 2025. Those events show parents the correct way to install and use safety seats, along with which ones are approved and rated the best to protect kids. For more information about our program, call Tuolumne County Public Health at 209-533-7401.
