Santa made a special stop at Grace Health’s Medical Campus, spreading cheer and listening to the holiday wishes of over 100 children. Each child could take a picture with Santa, captured by MLC Photography, and the first 100 kids received a complimentary Grace Health teddy bear. Photos were later uploaded to Facebook for free digital download.

The event’s success was made possible by the incredible efforts of Santa’s helpers from Pediatrics, Outreach, and the corporate office, who created a magical experience for all attendees. Community Health Workers Johnny Benge and Amber Black delighted families by appearing as Santa’s elves, Jolly and Peppermint. Mike Wynn, Director of Community Programs, and Rebekah Riggs, PR Specialist, coordinated the event with invaluable Human Resources and Operations support.
