One of the hospital’s most popular educational programs is Safe Summer Fun Day.  Safe Summer Fun Day is a free child-oriented health and safety fair that features hands-on hospital exhibits.  One of the event's signature activities is the bike helmet fitting tent where trained UMass Memorial-Marlborough Hospital staff properly fits and gives away children's bicycle helmets. 

Safe Summer Fun Day also features fun, family-oriented activities such as an obstacle course, a trackless train, a deejay, balloon animals, games and contests.
