Just in time for Valentine\u2019s Day, members of the Student Nurses Association delivered more than 200 hand-made teddy bears to local hospitals Feb. 10.<\/p>\n

Nursing students and volunteers built the bears Feb. 6 at the Build-A-Bear Workshop in the Chapel Hills Mall. The students collected donations for the project and volunteered time to build and deliver them.<\/p>\n

Sue Davis, instructor, Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Beth-El College of Nursing and Health Sciences, said 206 bears were made and distributed to the pediatric departments at UC Health\/Memorial Hospital, Penrose St. Francis Hospital, Colorado Children\u2019s Hospital and Children’s Colorado Urgent and Outpatient Specialty Care at Briargate. Last year, students delivered 182 bears.<\/p>\n

The bears – \u00a0dressed as cowboys, nurses, soldiers, and popular movie characters – will comfort the pediatric patients during their stay, Davis said. The community service project is now in its fourth year.<\/p>\n
