Teddy Bear Clinics

Saturday 11:30am-1pm & 2:30-4pm, September 28 and November 23

Check-ups are fun, not a bore, keep your teddy healthy to the core!
Does your teddy bear have a mysterious tummy ache? Did your unicorn lose a horn in a daring adventure?
It’s time for a check-up at MOD’s Teddy Bear Clinic.
Bring your favorite teddy bear or stuffy to the Teddy Bear Clinic. Come play doctor alongside Cabrillo College Nurses in training.
Make sure your fuzzy friend is feeling ‘paws’-itively great!

Open 11:30am-1pm & 2:30-4pm

Thanks to a grant from Central Coast Alliance for Health

This fall only, medi-cal families who bring a child to our teddy bear clinics will receive a free Otter 841 stuffy & a FREE year-long membership to MOD!

Families must have one adult currently enrolled in Medi-cal to be eligible.

Teddy Bear Clinics help children feel more comfortable visiting the doctor by reducing fear and anxiety through playful role play.

By empowering children with a sense of control over medical situations, Teddy Bear Clinics make future check-ups less stressful and provide caregivers with tools to discuss health in a reassuring way!
