Hospital staff and families turned Halloween into a bright spot for kids and patients who can't be trick-or-treating at home this year.

• Parents, nurses, and volunteers made tiny costumes for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit, letting families celebrate a first holiday together.
• The celebration spread beyond the nursery, with patients, staff, and therapy dogs joining in at another hospital.
• A local weather personality got in on the fun too, dressing up for the holiday.

Outlook: Expect more of these hospital Halloween traditions to continue as an annual morale boost for patients and families.
