Care Reach
Protecting the health of our children, regardless of their family's
financial capabilities, is the sole purpose of Care Reach. This program
stretches deep into the heart of Sumter and Lee counties and connects
children with needed medical and dental care. Typically, these children
are referred by school nurses and have problems that could affect
educational outcomes. Funded by The Tuomey Foundation, Care Reach takes a
holistic approach to helping children, including enrolling them in
Medicaid and addressing their behavioral issues, as well as their
physical health problems.
Car Seat Checks
Tuomey offers classes for parents on proper installation of car seats
in their vehicles. If you can't work a class into your schedule, feel
free to come by a SAFE Kids Sumter County and let us verify that your
carseat is properly installed. Check the calendar for upcoming events.
