Children will work side-by-side with local healthcare professionals as they perform checkups, administer treatments, and even explore mock medical procedures. With child-friendly tools, miniature lab coats, and guided activities, children learn about healthy habits, the importance of regular checkups, and oral healthcare—all while having fun in a welcoming environment.

The Teddy Bear Clinic fosters curiosity, empathy, and confidence, turning healthcare into a positive and playful experience for children and their families.
