Gritman hosting Teddy Bear Clinic on Saturday

Gritman Medical Center invites families to its Teddy Bear Clinic on Saturday at 10 a. m. , offering a unique opportunity for children to learn about health. Participants can engage with their stuffed animals through activities such as weighing, measuring, and suturing, guided by hospital staff and first responders. Educational demonstrations will emphasize the importance of hygiene, particularly hand washing.

The event also includes tours of emergency vehicles, including patrol cars, a fire engine, and an ambulance. Families are asked to utilize Gritman's south visitor parking lot, as Main and Eighth streets will be closed for the event. This initiative aims to instill healthy lifestyle habits in young children and foster community engagement with local health services. Gritman Medical Center, a key healthcare provider in Moscow, continues to prioritize health education and outreach in the community. The Teddy Bear Clinic represents a fun and interactive way to promote health awareness among families.
