Safe Kids Forsyth said yesterday that it has expanded its coverage area to include five additional counties. The group also is changing its name to Safe Kids Northwest Piedmont.
The counties are Davidson, Davie, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin.
Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center will continue as the lead agency for the organization and Donna Joyner as coordinator.
The group is the local coalition of Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations whose mission is to prevent accidental childhood injuries, a leading cause of death of children ages 14 and under.
