Step into the world of the Kids’ Kingdom of Health and Happiness from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 1, at the Galter Medical Pavilion of Swedish Covenant Hospital. You will be greeted by the king and queen as you journey through the variety of health exhibits and interactive programs for the whole family.
Participate in various health screenings, such as speech and language evaluations, and foot screenings.
