Santa Claus Makes Special Deliveries and Stops to Visit Babies at Intermountain Health Utah Hospitals in Riverton, Murray, and Ogden

Santa has made some special deliveries this year at Intermountain Riverton Hospital. And his elves, who also happen to be nurses in the hospital’s mom and baby department, have been busy in December wrapping up the newborn babies delivered there in Christmas stockings.

The stockings are given to parents who would like them as a memento from the hospital if their baby is born in December. More than 2,000 babies have been delivered at Intermountain Riverton Hospital so far in 2023.

Next, Santa made special visits to the tiny babies in the neonatal ICUs at Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden and Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, UT. Santa posed for pictures with the preemie babies and the photos were shared with parents as a keepsake.

“Having your baby in the neonatal ICU can be difficult for parents any time of year, and it’s especially true during the holidays. The Santa photos are a fun way to make the best of having your baby in the hospital,” said Alice Casper, nurse manager of the neonatal ICU at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray.

So far this year, more than 3,200 babies have been born at Intermountain Medical Center, and more than 2,100 babies have been born at McKay-Dee Hospital.
