Around The World... A Teddy Bear Clinic

Around the World… A Teddy Bear Clinic
sponsored by the John La Conti, MD Fund in support of the Child Life Program

Wednesday, July 20, 2011
Barnabas Health, West Orange, NJ

Children between the ages of 4 and 8 are invited to bring their Teddy Bears or favorite stuffed animals to learn about medical equipment and procedures and become comfortable with a hospital visit. Together, children and their “patients” will visit a series of interactive play stations so that children will have a good time learning that they don’t have to fear a trip to the hospital.  This program is sponsored by the John La Conti, MD Fund in support of the Child Life Program.
