ABOUT US

“MSS Teddy Bear Hospital” is the McGill chapter of an interistablishment IFMSA-Qc project. We aim to expose young children to the healthcare system in a less intimidating way. Our goal is to shift their perspective regarding the medical field from one of fear to a more positive outlook. We want to encourage children to have a more comfortable relationship with the hospital environment and increase their awareness of the reality of some of their peers.
