MOSCOW ― Children and their families are invited to bring a favorite stuffed animal to Gritman Medical Center’s free Teddy Bear Clinic at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 15.
The event includes activities to help children learn about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle in a fun and educational way. In addition to activity stations throughout Gritman’s downtown hospital campus, first responders and others – including the Palouse Discovery Science Center – will be on hand.
A variety of activity stations representing departments throughout the hospital will be open from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 15, at 700 S. Main St. in Moscow. Kids can check their stuffed animals’ vital signs and adhere bandages, weigh and measure their stuffed animal, tour patrol cars, a fire engine, and an ambulance, and meet Gritman’s cheerful Charlie Bear mascot. Check-in for the event will be located at either the Emergency Department entrance or the Main Admitting entrance on the south side of the building.
Attendees are asked to park in Gritman’s south-side visitor parking lot or utilize street parking. For the safety of those participating, Main and Eighth streets will be closed immediately surrounding the hospital.
Refreshments will be available while they last. For more information on the event, visit gritman.org/teddybearclinic.
