Columbus, Ga. (August 23, 2024) – The Piedmont Columbus Regional Foundation invites all children to bring their favorite teddy bear or stuffed animal to the free event on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Midtown Campus Conference Center where they will learn about medical treatments and healthy habits in a fun, friendly way.

Children and their stuffed animal of choice will visit various stations to learn about the future Bill and Olivia Amos Children's Hospital at Piedmont Columbus Regional to help take some of the fear out of a hospital visit should they ever have to be hospitalized. Checkups include X-rays, casting clinic, vaccinations and more.

There will also be interactive activities on first aid and safety, ambulance and firetruck tours, the D.A.R.E Monster Truck and face painting. Crafts and snacks will be available while supplies last.
