Safe Kids Wood County was formed in 2006 and joined with Clark County in 2021 to become Safe Kids Wood & Clark Counties. It is led by Marshfield Medical Center, Clark County Health Department, & Wood County Health Department.

The group implements various injury prevention programs and events and focuses on:

• Child Passenger Safety
• Fire and Burn Prevention
• Safe Infant Sleep
• Water Safety
• Wheel Safety
• Poisoning Prevention
• ATV Safety
