Teddy Bear Clinic

In an effort to ease children's fears about going 

to the doctor or hospital, the med school sets up a 

pretend clinic in the Market Square and Town Hall every 

spring for the kids to visit with their teddy bears. 

Rana went this morning with a group from her Kindergarten.

She didn't hesitate to to register her teddy bear 

and explain his injuries to the doctors.  

Apparently, he fell and hurt his forehead 

just like she did a few months ago!

We were impressed how bold and 

independent she was in tending to her bear. 

I guess it's no surprise that Rana 

knows how to deal with doctors! :)

The teddy bear received wonderful care at the 

Teddy Bear Clinic. They even sent him home with immunization 

records and a hot water bottle and tea to ease his recovery.
