Santa pays a visit to preemies at Children’s Hospital of Richmond

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - Santa Claus made a very special visit this week to preemies at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU.

“Being in the hospital with a preemie can be hard any time of year – but it’s extra difficult when you just want to be at home celebrating with your family,” the hospital wrote in a Facebook post.

“The NICU dream team makes sure kids and families come fist during the holidays and throughout the year,” the hospital said.

In one photo, Santa’s hand and the hand of one of the babies shows just how small some of the children are.

“This shot captures how small and precious NICU patients are,” the post read.
