Halloween Celebration at Methodist Children’s Hospital

Each year, the hospital transforms into a spirited celebration. Every unit picks a unique theme, decorates elaborately, and staff members wear costumes to match. This tradition creates a joyful atmosphere for children and their families.

Reverse Trick-or-Treating Tradition

Instead of children going door-to-door for candy, hospital leaders take on the role of trick-or-treaters, delivering treats room-to-room. This fun twist adds an extra layer of excitement for patients.
