Did you know that unintentional falls are the top cause of non-fatal injuries in the U.S.?  😟 That's why we're big fans of window guards! They make sure your little ones can't open a window more than 4 inches, keeping them safe indoors. ❤️ 

So as a healthcare system 100% dedicated to kids, we join the @NationalSafetyCouncil to show you how to install them. It's fast and easy!

Here are some other quick tips:

💠If your windows open from top and bottom, open just the top to prevent falls.
