Child life
specialist Erin Farella talks to
Frida and Bambi during MUSC
Pediatric Emergency Department's
(ED) Teddy Bear Clinic Jan. 28.
Children were invited to
experience the hospital in a
non-threatening way by bringing
their favorite teddy bear or
stuffed animal to the ED to be a
patient for the day. At the
clinic, children were exposed to
the hospital environment in a
hands-on experience and parents
met the staff. The Pediatric
ED's Teddy Bear Clinic, located
at 96 Jonathan Lucas St., saw 34
"patients," 64 percent of whom
had never been to MUSC prior to
this event. The next Teddy Bear
Clinic is planned for the
summer.|
