Schuyler Hospital Wants You to “Buckle Up Baby”

Before the green flag dropped on this year’s IndyCar race at Watkins Glen International, Schuyler Hospital and the local community the Hospital serves already had their prize in hand - a $2,500 donation from CARA (Championship Auto Racing Auxiliary) Charities. 

CARA Charities’ “Buckle Up Baby” program is designed to provide car seats to families in need. Since 2005, the honor of distributing those funds locally has gone to Schuyler Hospital.

“CARA’s mission is to give back to the communities that embrace the motorsports family,” said Steve Strathmann, Executive Director of the Schuyler Health Foundation. “The Schuyler Health Foundation is pleased to help put CARA Charities’ donation to work improving safety for children in Schuyler County.”

Schuyler Hospital distributes the car seats through its Stork's Landing Maternity Department. Mothers planning on giving birth or local families with small children can apply for a car seat by contacting Schuyler Hospital’s Stork’s Landing at (607) 535-8639, extension 2233.
