About the club
MSS Teddy Bear Hospital (HDN) is the McGill chapter of an interistablishment
IFMSA-Qc project. We aim to expose young children to the healthcare system in
a less intimidating way with the goal to decrease the fear of the white coat. We
host in-person Teddy Bear Hospital events which consist of multiple stations
where each child and their teddy bear can experience different situations within
the healthcare system and interact with various medical professionals. These
stations teach the children different healthy behaviours which include balanced
diet, good dental hygiene and active lifestyle, amongst others. We aim to reach
out to schools of low socioeconomic status to the greatest impact on our
population.
