WINSTON-SALEM ń The Wake Forest Baptist HealthCare Center-Davie will have an open house Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.
Festivities at the open house will include refreshments, CPR training, blood pressure screening, free tote bags and tours of the new facility.
The open house also will feature activities for children, including face painting, a chance to interact with local sports mascots and a special teddy bear clinic.
Children can bring their favorite stuffed animal for a “teddy bear health exam.” The first 500 children will receive a commemorative tiny teddy bear to take home.
The HealthCare Center will officially open on Monday, Jan. 26, to provide healthcare services to Davie and surrounding counties. Services offered at the new HealthCare Center include primary care, occupational medicine and a walk-in clinic featuring health-care exams and treatment for non-emergency injuries and illnesses. The center also has a laboratory and radiology departments.

The third service is a primary care clinic for patient examinations and consultations.
