Fort Novosel, AL  –   Lyster Army Health Clinic staff gathered on Friday, April 5, to "plant" a garden of blue pinwheels for Child Abuse Prevention Month at the front entrance of the clinic. The blue pinwheel, a national symbol for child abuse prevention, represents the happy, carefree childhoods all children deserve.

During the pinwheel planting, dozens of pinwheels were planted in the ground by staff and other installation agencies to show their commitment to bring awareness to stop child abuse. Leadership emphasized the role everyone plays in ensuring that children have positive experiences and ensuring families have the resources they need. The community will find other pinwheel gardens across the installation this month, helping to bring awareness and show support to stop Child Abuse.
