Children at St. Vincent’s celebrate Christmas in July

Indianapolis, Indiana – For the kids at Ascension St. Vincent’s Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, Christmas came early!

According to a news statement from the hospital, the Ascension St. Vincent Foundation Young Professionals Board and the Child Life team staged a “Christmas in July” party for young patients.

Children could see Santa Claus, enjoy reindeer activities, and open presents during the spectacular.

“Bringing Santa Claus here and a little joy and a little gifts during their visit can just kind of lighten their day and bring in some brighter more happier memories of their time here,” said Katie Fischer RN, Ascension St. Vincent Foundation Young Professionals Board member.

“So we really hope they enjoyed themselves and just a little bright spot watching their smiles and their joy of turning the corner and seeing Santa has been really worth it,” said Fischer.
