Philadelphia, PA
What:
Independence Blue Cross (Independence) is supporting Elmwood Park Zoo’s Teddy Bear Clinic, a community event to help children feel more comfortable visiting the doctor. Children will pretend their favorite stuffed animal is going to the pediatrician or dentist to learn what to expect from their next appointment.
In addition to the Teddy Bear Clinic, Zoo visitors can also join in the fun with Independence’s Live Fearless photo experience, which gives participants a chance to be photographed “flying high over Philadelphia” or “rowing a boat on the Schuylkill River.”
Independence is a proud corporate sponsor of the Elmwood Park Zoo. Residents in the zip code 19462 will receive free admission all day to the Zoo with proof of residency courtesy of Independence. The Teddy Bear Clinic is free with admission.
