Kids ages 3 to 8 are invited to Loma Linda University Health on Wednesday, May 6, for the 30th annual Children’s Day hosted by LLU Children’s Hospital child life department.
The health fair will run from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the lawn north of Loma Linda University Medical Center.
Using hands-on activities, Children’s Day teaches kids about health and hospitals in a non-threatening environment and has been doing so since 1985. A popular event, it usually draws crowds of about 1,000.
The May 6 event will feature a teddy bear clinic, a pretend finger-casting clinic, a venomous animals educational exhibit, information about dental health and fire safety, and more. It is sponsored by Farmer Boys. Jamba Juice will also be present to provide healthy drinks for the children.
“Because of the success of this community health fair, Children’s Day has become a beloved annual event for which we are excited to celebrate the 30th year,” says Dorothy Brooks, MA, child life specialist and event coordinator.
