Experience the friendly face of medicine at the Teddy Bear Clinic, staged
as a mini-hospital under the tents for children ages 3 through 12 with
accompanying adults. Visit with Greenwich Hospital doctors, nurses,
technicians and other staff during this interactive day of learning.
Children are encouraged to bring a favorite stuffed animal or doll for an
exam. Depending on the diagnosis, dolls, bears and other fuzzy patients
may receive splints, stitches, surgery or X-rays. Kids can peer through
a microscope, climb aboard an ambulance, and test their balance by
negotiating an obstacle course. Families can learn about nutritious foods,
sun protection, sports safety and other healthy habits.
Free parking in the hospital’s staff lot on Lake Avenue. Walk-ins welcome.
