Dubuque, IA—Hospitals and doctor’s offices can be scary places for kids, so to help reduce that fear, UnityPoint Clinic is hosting Teddy Bear Clinics in association with Peosta Days and the Dubuque Farmer’s Market. Children and families are invited to bring their favorite teddy bear or stuffed animal to the event and UnityPoint Clinic team members will be onsite to meet children and care for their “friends”. Kids get hands-on experience with common medical equipment in a fun, stress-free way to ease anxiety with children for when they go to the doctor. Details about each event can be found below.
