Spreading holiday cheer to
our pediatric patients and families in Inglewood!

 

We were excited to bring back our Children’s Holiday Movie event for the first time since 2019.

This event featured a special screening of Elf, as well as photos with Santa and festive surprises. Children enjoyed popcorn and drinks during the movie and received books and toys to take home afterward.

This celebration honored community, joy and the magic of giving, made possible through the support of volunteers, donors and partners who help bring health and happiness to local families.
