Community members had the opportunity to meet doctors, nurses, and emergency response professionals in a fun, hands-on environment June 5, 2025, at the 13th Annual Ascension Franklin Family Health Night.
The event encouraged families to educate themselves about staying safe and healthy through interactive activities and demonstrations. Attendees of all ages got an inside look at how emergency situations are handled, and had the chance to connect directly with first responders.
“It’s important to educate our local communities about health and safety,” said Jonathon Matuszewski, president of Ascension Franklin. “Allowing the community to interact with our associates, local fire and police departments, and surrounding agencies helps teach children valuable skills—like CPR, fire safety, and general public safety awareness.”
Highlights of the evening included a teddy bear clinic, CPR training, hands-on practice with medical tools used within a hospital setting, and an up-close look at the Flight for Life helicopter.
