South Columbus Public Library

Pete Robinson Meeting Room

A teddy bear can tell you that visiting the doctor doesn’t have to be fretful!

A teddy bear can tell you that visiting the doctor doesn’t have to be fretful! At this delightful Teddy Bear Clinic, the doctors-in-training from the Mercer School of Medicine will show your children what happens at the doctor’s office, using our special teddy bear friends as the patients! We’ll show how gently we can check heartbeats, blood pressure, and more, making a potentially scary thing less scary.

You are welcome to bring your own stuffed animals for a check-up if you wish!
