Kids and their favorite stuffed friends are invited to join us and a gaggle of volunteers from Portsmouth Regional Hospital, for our annual Teddy Bear Clinic, a fun event that helps educate kids about what happens at the doctor’s office.

• Each child’s stuffed animal is checked-in and given an ID bracelet.
• Children take their animals in to meet with a volunteer doctor or nurse for a check-up.
• If needed, animals can be taken to the surgical table for stitches, band-aides and ribbons.
• Each animal receives a certificate of good health at the end of the process.
• After your check-up and before you leave, be sure to grab a snack to go!

Included with Museum admission. To participate, simply reserve for the Thursday, August 10th morning play session (9am-Noon).

Thank you to our Teddy Bear Clinic sponsor: Portsmouth Regional Hospital.

“Providing education is a big part of our jobs at Portsmouth Regional Hospital,” said Malachi Fisher, market director of trauma and neurosciences at HCA New England. “While we enjoy being out in the community at a wide range of events, stitching and patching up stuffed animals, and doing exams when the stuffed animals aren’t feeling well is by far one of the highlights for us. It helps keep us grounded. It’s just one of the reasons we love what we do.”
