Teddy Bear Clinic

Published on March 2, 2010 in Kidsquest and Uncategorized. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

This last weekend I saw more than 50 patients on one Saturday. Normally it this would have been a crazy day, but these patients were stuffed animals that kids brought in for a check-up at the third annual KidsQuest Children’s Museum Teddy Bear Clinic. Their ailments ranged from sore throats to broken legs.

I volunteer at this event, along with some of my colleagues, every year. The event helps kids see that a trip to the doctor can be fun and hopefully makes their next doctor’s trip less stressful for everyone.

A few things

I just did a quick interview for Parent Map magazine last week about birthmarks and when to worry. There are a lot of common ones and very few should cause parents to worry.  It should be coming out soon.

Also, this Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at KidsQuest Children’s Museum in Factoria mall is the 3rd annual Teddybear Clinic. It is a great event where children bring their prized stuffed animals to the museum for a full check up. Everything from a weight station to immunizations.  It is fun for both the kids and us health care workers that donate some time for this great event. Continue reading ‘Upcoming event’

Teddy Bear Clinic on Saturday

Published on July 9, 2009 in Kidsquest and Out and About. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

This weekend on Saturday at KidsQuest Children’s Museum is the Teddy Bear Clinic.  You will find me along with other colleagues having some fun examining stuffed animals.

It is a wonderful event for children where they can bring their stuffed animal to see the doctor.  It allows the children a chance have their  favorite stuffed animal get their annual physical including height and weight. Animals will get their eyes, ears and throats checked and we’ll have a mini-hospital to take care of minor animal injuries.

It is a great way to  help kids prepare for that next appointment and also helps them learn about caring for someone else.  My hope is that your child will have a great day at the Museum, learn about what doctors do, and who knows maybe even want to become one someday!
