Greenwich Hospital's 15th Annual Teddy Bear Clinic

Irene Villaverde, Neighbor

Whether Paddington has a headache or Elmo caught a cold, Greenwich Hospital's Teddy Bear Clinic will make it all better. At our mini-hospital under tents, doctors, nurses, and other medical specialists welcome children to the world of healthcare in a fun, friendly, family atmosphere.  Youngsters are invited to bring a favorite stuffed animal or doll for evaluation and health professionals from more than 20 hospital departments and specialties. Depending on the diagnosis, X-rays, ultrasound, surgery, splints or stitches may be ordered.


Children ages 3-12, accompanied by an adult, are welcome to visit the Teddy Bear Clinic. It's FREE, and takes place rain or shine.
