We observe July as Purple Ribbon Month. During this time, we want to emphasize important child safety tips, including heat safety, hot car safety, water safety, and CPR. In our latest podcast episode, we feature EMT Edlin Blankenship from Kern County Public Health. She discusses her motivation for working in the medical field, shares her experiences with water-related hazards, offers advice on assisting individuals with heat-related illnesses, and highlights the free prevention classes available to the public through Kern County Public Health.
