Each session includes seven exhibits to teach kids about bones, fitness, nutrition, safety, mental health and more. At each exhibit students observe and participate in hands-on demonstrations. The students learn safety information including the Heimlich maneuver, bicycle safety and proper exercise. Exhibits also include actual medical paraphernalia such as x-rays, casts, cast cutters and real bones. One of the most popular stops is always the model hospital room where students learn about the tools and techniques used in hospital visits.
Volunteers also try to minimize children's anxiety about hospitals and doctors offices.
