Bring the kids and join us for our Teddy Bear Clinic on March 20 from 1–3 PM at UTC Mall! 🧸
This fun, interactive event helps make the emergency room feel less scary for children. Kids will receive a teddy bear and visit different stations where their bear will be “diagnosed” and “treated” just like in a real ER.

It’s a great way for families to learn about emergency care in a friendly, hands-on environment.
