2016 Teddy Bear Picnic This event is FREE and open to the public with various family-friendly activities such as face painting, meet and greet with MSU athletes, music, and arts and crafts. We encourage youth to bring their favorite stuffed animals to the Teddy Bear Hospital and if they have injuries, trained teddy bear doctors will be there to make repairs. The Teddy Bear Hospital is made up of healthcare students and professionals with the goal to help children learn about what to expect from a visit to the doctor's office. There will be representatives from a variety of specialties and sub-specialties including pediatrics, radiology, sports medicine, ophthalmology, orthopedics, etc. A health record will be given to children when arriving at the event and once they have visited all of the prescribed 'clinics,' they will receive a special gift.
MSUFCU is a proud sponsor of the annual Teddy Bear Picnic. |
