A free teddy bear clinic will be held June 15 at Gritman Medical Center. Children and their families are invited to bring a favorite stuffed animal to the clinic at 700 So. Main St. in Moscow.
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.
Kids can check their stuffed animals’ vital signs and adhere bandages, weigh and measure their stuffed animal, tour patrol cars, a fire engine, an ambulance and meet Gritman’s 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 on the street. For the safety of those participating, Main and Eighth streets will be closed immediately surrounding the hospital.
Refreshments will be available while they last. Anyone wishing more information may visit gritman.org/teddybearclinic.
