KMBC: Santa Brings Joy to the NICU at Saint Luke's Hospital in Kansas City

Santa stopped by Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to greet some of the tiniest members of his nice list.

Families with babies in the NICU may not be celebrating the holidays how they had hoped, which is why Saint Luke's and our March of Dime coordinator are making sure to bring the holiday cheer to them.

KMBC talks with a family from Arizona who delivered at Saint Luke's prematurely, Santa, and the nurse manager about what these special moments mean.
