Teddy Bear Clinic Excites Younger Visitors

Children and their parents attended our "Teddy Bear Clinic" on September 12, 2009. Museum docents and medical professionals taught kids the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. Children brought along their favorite stuffed friend as they visited five stations: Vitals, Dental, Immunization, Fitness and Nutrition. The 'Clinic' was held in conjunction with the visiting exhibition, "David Macaulay Presents: The Way We Work: Getting to Know the Amazing Human Body."
