MERCER TEDDY BEAR CLINIC
Children & Families
Saturday, September 19
1:30pm - 2:30pm
A teddy bear can tell you that visiting the doctor doesn’t have to be fretful!
At this delightful Teddy Bear Clinic, student doctors from the Mercer University School of Medicine show your children what happens at the doctor’s office using our special teddy bear friends as patients! To make a potentially scary experience less intimidating, we’ll demonstrate how gently we can check heartbeats, blood pressure, and more. You are welcome to bring your own stuffed animals for a checkup!
