Memorial Medical Center's residency program brings smiles & health care lessons to Bloneva Bond Primary School with teddy bear clinic

Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center recently participated in a teddy bear clinic educational event at Bloneva Bond Primary School aimed at promoting wellness, good hygiene, and proper nutrition. The interactive clinic featured stations where 3- and 4-year-old students engaged in learning about various aspects of health care.

The medical residents said they were thrilled to interact with the 120 students, who eagerly showed off their teddy bears and participated in the activities.

As part of the clinic, NFMMC's residents set up four interactive stations where students engaged in learning various health care skills. The students measured vital signs, practiced good hygiene habits, explored healthy nutrition using plastic fruits and vegetables, and learned basic first aid to care for their teddy bears.

"The residents were impressed by the students' enthusiasm and willingness to learn," said Megan Wentland, NFMMC residency coordinator. "We had a wonderful time sharing our health care knowledge and seeing how engaged the students were with the activities."

A press release noted, “NFMMC's participation in the teddy bear clinic demonstrates NFMMC’s commitment to promoting health care education and community outreach initiatives. The event served as an excellent opportunity for NFMMC's resident program to engage with the local community and raise awareness about the importance of health care education.”
