Despite his busy schedule around the globe, Santa Claus took time before Christmas to visit dozens of babies in MU Health Care’s Children’s hospital neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Columbia.
Santa Claus arrived in Columbia from the North Pole, visiting the tiny patients and bringing them Christmas and holiday cheer. Some infants slept in stockings, and MU Health Care notes the children were dressed in festive clothing.
This is the first Christmas holiday season in MU Health Care’s new NICU. It’s part of the new $232-million Children’s Hospital that opened in June.
