1/17 - Senior Health Fair - Donna
Make plans to attend our Senior Health Fair on January 20 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Victoria Palms Resort in Donna. The event is free and open to all seniors, and you can take part in free health screenings, health education and demonstrations. 8/3 - Teddy Bear Clinic - Edinburg
The Edinburg Children’s Hospital’s will host its first-ever “Teddy Bear Clinic,” from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. as part of the Community-wide Health Fair on Aug. 3.
At the “Teddy Bear Clinic,” children are encouraged to bring in their favorite teddy bear or stuffed animal and nurse volunteers will give it a check-up.
The Community-wide Health Fair is hosted by the Hidalgo Starr Counties Medical Alliance and co-sponsored by South Texas Health System and the Valley Care Clinics.
The health fair will take place 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 3 at Edinburg Regional Medical Center, 1102 W. Trenton Rd.
At the “Teddy Bear Clinic,” your child’s stuffed animal may get some stitches, a shot, a bandage, or an X-ray. Each stuffed animal will be weighed, measured and have their blood pressure taken, too. And after it’s all done, each furry friend will receive a certificate of good health to take home.
“The clinic teaches children that doctors and nurses are friends and are here to help them feel better. The Teddy Bear Clinic will also expose children to the many departments of a hospital and let them know what to expect if they ever have to come to one,” said Jennifer Garza, CEO of Edinburg Regional Medical Center and Edinburg Children’s Hospital.
“Preparing for a procedure or doctor’s visit through medical play is highly beneficial to children. Listening to concerns, easing their fears, and giving them some control by acting as a parent to their stuffed animal are our goals with this Teddy Bear Clinic.”
In addition to the Teddy Bear Clinic, the Community-wide Health Fair will feature a wide variety of free health information, vision screenings, and activities for the whole family. Physician lectures will take place in the Texas Room. A complete schedule and listing of vendors will be available online at www.southtexashealthsystem.com under Hospital Events.
