There’s nothing quite like the magic of Christmas arriving early - especially when it’s delivered by Santa himself!

This week, Santa made a special stop at the John Hunter Children’s Hospital to spread joy, laughter, and a few early presents to children spending the holidays in hospital.

Thanks to our incredible community and supporters, moments like these help make Christmas a little brighter for kids and families who need it most.

Five-year-old Artie knows what it’s like to spend time in hospital. Earlier this year, he was cared for by our general paediatrics and hospital in the home teams at John Hunter Children’s Hospital, supported every step of the way by our doctors, nurses and allied health staff.

This Christmas, Artie will be at home with his sisters and family - but for many children, hospital will be where they spend the festive season.

Every donation to the John Hunter Children’s Hospital Christmas Appeal helps bring a little joy to young patients who can’t be home for the holidays, and to children receiving care throughout the year.

Together, we can make hospital feel a little more magical this Christmas. Donate today: https://ow.ly/XZRr50XwzLp
