It’s always the ‘Nice List’ for the Neonatal ICU Babies

Jolly St. Nick made a special, early visit to the newborns being cared for in the Richard Rivas, MD Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center. This memorable experience brought together NICU staff and newborn family members to celebrate the season with Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus.

Santa even brought his most magical “reindeer” a bearded collie named Tess from Pets With A Mission, accompanied by her owner and Memorial Hermann volunteer Marty Saikowski. Oh, what fun was had!
