Santa Claus Visits Cedars-Sinai | Cedars-Sinai Newsroom

Cedars-Sinai's Chief Nursing Executive David Marshall, JD, DNP, RN, recently arranged for his best friend, Santa Claus, to visit some of Cedars-Sinai’s youngest patients.

Accompanied by an entourage of Cedars-Sinai nurses dressed in holiday style, Santa spent time visiting pediatric patients as well as infants in the medical center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, part of the Maxine Dunitz Children’s Health Center, where many parents were marking their first holiday season as parents.

“Merry Christmas!” Santa said as he walked into a Pediatric Intensive Care patient’s room. “It’s good to see you!”

Spreading joy with his booming voice, Santa and nurses surprised pediatric patients with small gifts, courtesy of the OwieBowwowie Foundation. He also posed for pictures with patients and their families, including two sets of twins.

Santa gifted parents of babies in the NICU ornaments of their baby’s footprints and the tiniest patients received pint-sized Santa hats. He posed for pictures with two sets of twins dressed in Christmas outfits.

Remarking on his best friend’s popularity, Marshall, who regularly visits patients throughout the medical center, said, "I've never had patients so thrilled to see me. That shows you the power of Santa.”
