Know a child who would like to go out on Halloween for Trick or Treat, but needs medical support to be able to do so??
For the 7th year in a row, MedStar is offering to take one or two children – with their family – that might not normally be able to do so due to medical restrictions, out for Halloween to a Fort Worth neighborhood.
The child will be picked up at home, brought to a specially selected neighborhood in a MedStar ambulance and escorted through the neighborhood on one of our stretchers and returned after their bag is full!
A MedStar paramedic, EMT, and Safety Clown will accompany the child from door to door and assist with collecting all the goodies!
To nominate a child for this event, contact Matt Zavadsky at MZavadsky@medstar911.org or by phone at 817-991-4487.
Nomination deadline is Friday, October 18th.
