Children's hospitals across the United States have embraced Halloween festivities to uplift young patients unable to celebrate traditionally due to hospitalization. At the Children's Hospital of Michigan, staff organized a spooky celebration allowing children to dress up and trick-or-treat within the hospital. Similar events took place at Janet Weis Children's Hospital and Memorial Health Dwaine and Cynthia Willett Children’s Hospital, where reverse trick-or-treats were organized with the help of community volunteers and athletes. The Boston Bruins and Carolina Panthers players also visited hospitals, donning costumes and distributing treats, to spread joy and normalcy. Meanwhile, Ascension St. John and community initiatives like Everly’s Costumes ensured even NICU babies could partake in the Halloween spirit with handcrafted costumes. These initiatives highlight the importance of community involvement in bringing joy to children facing challenges in hospitals.
