Outdoor Gear

There's a chill in the air! Please send your children to school with appropriate outdoor clothing for recess. Mornings are cool and afternoons are warmer, so layers may be best. Be sure to put your child's name inside of each layer (including hats, gloves and scarves). That way, it is easy to return lost items to their owner.

Children's Mercy Hospital Presents "Prepped and Ready"

Children's Mercy has created a free video series for parents and caregivers called "Prepped and Ready". This is a free, video series that takes only 45-minutes and brings Children’s Mercy expert tips right to parents.

We can help parents take steps to prevent tragedies from happening within their own homes.

Topics include:

Self-care
Eating disorder prevention
Vaping
Suicide prevention
Safe storage
And more

We invite you to share these free parenting videos with your family, friends, community, and patient families by sharing the video series link. Safety toolkits will also be mailed to participants who complete pre and post-surveys.
