MERCER TEDDY BEAR CLINIC Student doctors from the Mercer University School of Medicine show your children what happens at the doctor’s office using our teddy bear friends as patients! To make a potentially scary experience less intimidating, we’ll demonstrate how gently we can check heartbeats, blood pressure, and more. You are welcome to bring your own stuffed animals for a checkup!
