Each December, we gather for celebrations, parties, and time with family and friends. While enjoying the holiday season, it’s important to pause and think about being responsible. December is National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month, and the holidays consistently see higher-than-average accident rates. That makes it especially important to remain alert and in a safe, sober state behind the wheel.

According to the National Safety Council, more than 40,000 people died in alcohol-related traffic accidents last year. This holiday season, make the choice to plan ahead, drive sober, and look out for one another. If you or a loved one needs care during the holidays, visit UPHealthSystem.com to find the right care, resources, and locations.

🎄 Safe Toys, Happy Holidays! 🎁

It’s Safe Toys and Gifts Month, and while the holidays are all about fun, safety should always come first. In 2023, an estimated 154,700 children age 12 and under visited U.S. emergency rooms for toy-related injuries (CPSC).

Before wrapping up those gifts, take a few simple steps to keep playtime safe:

• Check age recommendations on every toy.
• Look for small parts that could be choking hazards.
• Inspect ride-on toys and scooters for stability and protective gear.
• Stay updated on recalls—even popular toys can have hidden risks.

A little attention today keeps the holidays joyful and worry-free tomorrow. Learn more and check the latest recalls at http://www.cpsc.gov.

The holiday season brings excitement, traditions, and time spent with the people who matter most. It’s also an important moment to pause and make safe choices—especially when it comes to driving. Each December, impaired driving incidents spike, highlighting the ongoing need for awareness and responsible decision-making behind the wheel.

According to the National Safety Council, more than 40,000 people lost their lives in alcohol-related crashes last year. It’s a heartbreaking statistic and a powerful reminder that every safe choice matters.

Make a Plan Before You Celebrate:

- Choose a designated sober driver

- Use a taxi or ride-share service

- Stay overnight if you’re in no condition to drive

And remember—impairment isn’t just about alcohol. Substances like ma*****na, opioids, and even certain over-the-counter medications can slow reaction time, impair judgment, and affect coordination. Fatigue and stress can also make driving unsafe.

As we move through December’s celebrations, let’s work together to keep our roads safe. A thoughtful plan today can prevent a life-changing tragedy tomorrow.

As always, we’re here for you. Learn more at UPHealthSystem.com.
