The Keystone Kindergarten children had a wonderful time participating in the Clarion Hospital Teddy Bear Clinic on February 18th.
The clinic was designed to ease children's anxieties about going to the hospital. The Nurses, EMT's, 911 technicians, and other professionals talked to the children about making a 911 phone call, seat belt safety, & shared some simple medical tools (blood pressure cuff & stethoscope). During the clinic, the children also had the opportunity to "bandage" their favorite teddy bear or stuffed animal.
This event was a great way to create a fun, non-threatening environment to help our Keystone Kids feel more comfortable in a hospital situation!! For more pics of this special day, look at K1 Kids - Candid Pics!!
