University women's club sponsors Todd Carter Teddy Bear Day The Medical University Women’s Club sponsored the fifth annual Todd Carter Teddy Bear Day recently in the Medical University Medical Center.   “We tried to give out a teddy bear, or stuffed animal to every patient as a way of cheering our adults while they are in the hospital.” said Lynda Selby, immediate past president of the club.   In 2001 Todd Carter, a Wando High School football player was killed in an automobile. He was the son of MUSC’s James (M.D.) and Debbie Carter.   “We collect stuffed animals all year long from our members and we cannot believe what a boost they make among our heart, transplant, rehab, medical, oncology and women’s units,” said Jane Locke, 2006-07 club president. “It gives our members something to look forward to and it really cheers up the patients.”     Friday, June 16, 2006 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
