Today is the last day of school in Philadelphia. Kids are about to be everywhere — streets, sidewalks, playgrounds.
Slow down. Put the phone down. Expect the unexpected.
Have a safe summer, Philly.

Today is World Bicycle Day.
In Philly, bikes are how people get around.
Keeping cyclists safe on our streets is everyone's job — not just the person on the bike.

May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and we closed it out right. 🏍️
Earlier this month riders gathered at RevZilla for training on crash response, bleeding control, CPR, and helmet safety.
Thank you to all our partners for helping make it happen.
See you next year. 💙

Today is Memorial Day. At Penn Trauma, this day carries a name. Dr. John Paul Pryor, trauma surgeon and Army Reserve officer, was killed in Iraq on Christmas Day 2008. Our trauma bay bears his name. Today we remember him and every service member who gave everything. 💙
