We are proud to co-sponsor the 4th Annual teddy bear clinic with BAPS Charities. Adventist Glen Oaks Hospital and BAPS Charities share a mission of providing health education. This is indeed an endeavor of the volunteer force. – Tina Marie Johnson, Marketing Director of Adventist Glen Oaks Hospital. This health fair serves as a testament to the great amount of dedication and service put forth by the volunteers of BAPS Charities. – Randy Ramey, Illinois State Representative I always had a fear of the emergency room. The Teddy Bear clinic put these fears to rest through the different activities we did today. – Akshar Patel, 12 years old Teddy Bear Clinic Participant Today we learned about safety and various precautions we can take to prevent accidents from occurring. We learned about poison control, fire prevention, first aid and other important things. – Kirtan Jani, 10 year old Teddy Bear Clinic Participant I really wanted to come to the teddy bear clinic. I made sure my parents would come and drop me off for sure to this event. If I get hurt, or if someone I know gets hurt, I know what steps to take to make sure the person is all right. – Manas Bhatt, 10 year old Teddy Bear Clinic Participant |
