Police Dept., Hospital Partner with High School to Supply First Aid Bags

North Kansas City High School just became a little safer through a program sponsored by the North Kansas City Police Dept. and North Kansas City Hospital. The Medical Bag Program is designed to supply each classroom in the high school with a medical supply bag. Many students and staff have been trained to use the bags and to perform CPR and other emergency response techniques. The police department provided the bags while the hospital provided contents for the bags.
