Teddy Bear Clinic helps to reduce anxiety associated with an upcoming operation

Did you know? Even teddy bears can require surgery! Patients waiting in the pre-op and day surgery waiting area were treated to a very special Teddy Bear Clinic by our Child Life Services team, designed especially to reduce anxiety associated with an upcoming operation and encourage therapeutic play and distraction techniques. We’re happy to report: all Teddys (and their proud owners) reported feeling much better about their trip to the Operating Room!
