June is Gun Safety Awareness Month 🧡

AMCNO is proud to support safer communities through responsible firearm storage and education. We have distributed 781 gun safes throughout our community, helping families securely store fi****ms and reduce the risk of accidental injuries, unauthorized access, and firearm-related tragedies.

Safe storage saves lives. By keeping fi****ms locked, and out of reach of children, we can all play a role in protecting our families and neighbors.

Thank you to our physician partners who have helped make this important initiative possible. Together, we're building a safer Northeast Ohio.
