Nominate a Child With Special Medical Needs to go Trick-or-Treating With MedStar’s Help

Tarrant County (WBAP/KLIF) – Know a child who would like to go out on Halloween for Trick or Treat, but needs medical support to be able to do so??

For the 6^th year in a row, MedStar is offering to take one or two children – with their family – who might not normally be able to do so due to medical restrictions, out for Halloween to a Fort Worth neighborhood.

The child will be picked up at home, brought to a specially selected neighborhood in a MedStar am

bulance and escorted through the neighborhood on one of our stretchers and returned after their bag is full!

A MedStar paramedic, EMT, and Safety Clown will accompany the child from door to door and assist with collecting all the goodies!
