Teddy Bear Hospital Event Returns for Family Day 2024
All time slots for the Teddy Bear Hospital are now full. Walk-ins will only be accepted if capacity allows.
Join us on Monday, February 19th from 9am-4pm for the annual Teddy Bear Hospital!
Children and their families can bring their teddy bear or other special stuffed animal to the Museum of Health Care where trained “teddy doctors and nurses” will be on hand to examine and treat any bumps, lumps, and bruises. Be ready to learn, laugh, and find out why doctors and hospitals aren't so scary after all!
The event will include a hands-on activities and crafts. Working alongside museum staff and volunteers, children will share in the experience of a check-up for their stuffie, and help with bandaging, ‘x-rays’, splinting and casting.
The Teddy Bear Hospital has been the Museum of Health Care’s signature event for over 10 years. The goal of the event is to dispel any fears that children may have about visiting a health care provider, improve health literacy and promote health and wellbeing—and of course, highlight the Museum’s collection of historical medical artifacts. Suitable for all ages 0-10.
ALL TIMES SLOTS ARE CURRENTLY FULL.
Walk-ins will be accepted if capacity allows.
