Your kids can get a little TLC for their favorite stuffed animals or doll at a special Teddy Bear Hospital event at the new UCHealth Emergency Room in southeast Fort Collins.

The free event is from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 24th. Children are invited to bring their own teddy bear or doll to see how emergency room doctors and nurses care for injured or sick patients during a pretend emergency visit. It’s also an opportunity for families to get a peek inside the new facility.

The new UCHealth Emergency Room is on the southeast corner of the intersection of Snow Mesa Drive and Harmony Road. The 17,400-square-foot facility is expected to open on Wednesday, October 28th.
