"Doc McStuffins" Comes to Boston!

The Doc
Mobile multi-city tour is bringing Disney Junior’s acclaimed animated series
“Doc McStuffins” to Boston’s Franklin
Park Zoo
on Sunday, August 18 with empowering experiences relating to health
and nutrition for kids (age 2-7) and families. 
The event, free with paid zoo admission, features an area for kids to
perform a "check-up" on their own toys plus other activities and
age-appropriate health and wellness lessons including nutrition and physical
development and fitness. (Fans are invited to follow The Doc Mobile tour route
on Disney Junior's Facebook page and on Twitter at @DisneyJuniorUSA,

foundation necessary to create a diverse physician workforce.
