YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – Exceptional Community Hospital (ECH) in Yuma is hosting a free Teddy Bear Clinic this Saturday for local children and their families.
The purpose of the fun event is to help kids get over their fear of the doctor’s office.
Hospital nurses and doctors will administer vaccinations and perform medical checkups on the teddy bears.
The event is on Saturday at 9 a.m. and all you need to bring is your favorite teddy bear.
“This event, you’re going to see our team in action within our trauma areas, within our fast-track areas, and within our inpatient area. If your child was to come here they would get that same ultimate care and that same ouchless experience,” says Tony Neerpat, a Pharmacist at ECH.
In addition, the hospital will be hosting a free First Aid & CPR Clinic on Sunday at 10 a.m.
