Hospital Visit Program Profile

Bear Givers facilitates programs and events in which children and families in hospitals are given teddy bears by Bear Givers representatives. These uplifting visits benefit both the givers and the recipients of the teddy bears in a heartwarming, positive experience. The hospitalized patients and their families, who may be coping with the potential loneliness, isolation and anxiety caused by illness, are cheered, comforted, and provided with a needed respite and welcome distraction.

Bear Givers visits hospitals and pediatric facilities worldwide and often invites celebrities and special guests to interact with the young patients, and help with the distribution of the bears.
