Families and children of all ages are invited to join Santa Claus and his merry troop of medical volunteers – along with their favorite stuffed animals or toys – for the 15th annual Teddy Bear Check-Up. Each child will receive a Teddy Bear and passport to take along their journey through the steps of a physical examination where they will learn about healthy habits, the importance of annual checkups, being active, and a nutritious diet.

There will be breakfast, festive arts and crafts, and even a chance to have a photo taken with Santa, while holiday music from the Houston Youth Symphony fills the air. Guests will enjoy face painting, balloon artists, candy cane characters, and snow as well as visiting various Teddy Bear Stations.
