Virtual Santa | Cincinnati Children's

http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org Spending time in the hospital is no fun especially for sick children who miss home this holiday season. To try and bring some holiday cheer their way, inpatients at Cincinnati Children’s received an interactive visit from Old St. Nick. Cincinnati Children’s joined Cisco Systems and CBTS, a subsidiary of Cincinnati Bell, to bring Santa Claus to its patients using a video monitor and web-enabled camera. “We are helping kids connect in real time with Santa at the North Pole,” said Joe Plagge, a senior analyst with the Telehealth team at Cincinnati Children’s. “We use an iPad and we are able to do video calls back and forth so Santa can talk with patients and see them open their presents.” Santa’s elves also brought presents that were on the children’s Christmas lists. “These are children who are here for a long period of time who have been told they have to be here over Christmas so it’s a way for us to bring Santa to them without having to leave the hospital,” said Sara Coe, a clinical assistant with Child Life and Integrative Care.
