        These small bears cover bags of fluids and blood that are used prior to
        surgery and in recovery. The bags can be scary to children, but these
        little bears cover everything. Calm and comfort are essential to healing,
        and Medi Teddys can provide that for our Shrine kids.

        Not only do they comfort children, but they make it easy for nurses to use.
        Since they are plastic, they can also be sterilized for repeated use. There
        is an old saying, “A merry heart doth good like a medicine.” These smiling
        bears help encourage that process.

         Please help us provide Medi Teddys to Shrine children to help promote healing.
