🚗OSF HealthCare Children's Hospital of Illinois brought its impactful ThinkFirst Program to Ridgeview High School, continuing its mission to prevent brain and spinal cord injuries through education and awareness.

During a recent visit to Aledo, students engaged in critical conversations about staying safe on the road, including:

✅ Always wearing your seatbelt

📵 Avoiding distractions while driving or riding

🚫 Never driving impaired or riding with someone who is

One of the most moving moments came from our Voices of Injury Prevention Speaker, who courageously shared his personal journey through a traumatic brain injury caused by a crash. His story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of making safe choices behind the wheel.

🎓 Want this free program at your school? Contact Lisa Maynard at Lisa.m.maynard@osfhealthcare.org to bring ThinkFirst to your students.
