Sensitive Santa Coming to Children’s Hospital

For parents of children who have physical and/or cognitive disabilities, they know visiting Santa in shopping centers can unfortunately have its challenges. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is helping to ensure all children have the opportunity to enjoy a favorite holiday tradition. CCHMC has brought in a sensitive Santa – straight from the North Pole – who is comfortable talking and interacting with children of all abilities. The Winter Wonderland and Santa Claus event will have entertainment, punch and cookies, and of course photos with none other than Ho Ho Ho himself.

What a wonderful idea!

The event will be Saturday, December 13 from Noon until 4 p.m. at Children’s Hospital (333 Burnet Ave) in the Fifth Third Bank Auditorium. (location D) It is a totally free event with free parking as well. To learn more or pre-register, please call the Family Resource Center at 513-636-7606.

Note: Children attending this event will not be interacting with hospitalized children.
