42 Photos | Santa Visits the NICU
On Thursday, Dec. 21, Santa Claus (Peter Murray, MD), Mrs. Claus (Naomi Rademeyer, BSN, RN, CCRN), and a North Pole elf (Elizabeth Shifflett, MBA, Chief Operating Officer, Department of Pediatrics) visited the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at UVA Health Children’s to take photos with babies and their families. NICU team members coordinated the annual photo shoot so families can have a special memento of their baby to mark the holidays.
Below are a few photos of the special visit. Enjoy!
omg I love to see all of them babies so beautiful. Santa and Mrs. clause did wonderful job.
So special. What an incredible thing to do for these families!
This is precious, I’m sure this brightened up the families day. Grateful to see others taking sweet time to spend with these sick kiddos!
Best thing ever! This made my day!
Love that we give a sense of normalcy to these families who can’t just go out and get pictures with Santa.
This is so precious. What a sweet gesture of kindness, and love in action.
A keepsake that these families will forever cherish!
OMG…So cute…and Dr. Murray with his real beard made the perfect Santa Claus
Love that they visit the children in the hospital and thank you to the photographer who took these beautiful pictures
Merry Christmas to each of you. Santa and his helpers are smiling beautifully and showing great affection and holiday joy for the little babies and their families. Liz, your smiles are beautiful.
