Santa Claus and a few elves brought holiday cheer to children at a local hospital.

Each year, employees from Empress Ambulance Services bring gifts and St. Nicholas himself.

"Unfortunately, they don't have the opportunity to be able to get out and go see Santa.  So, we bring it to them. And Empress Ambulance has a terrific partnership with Elizabeth Seton,” says Matthew Minerva, vice president of Empress Ambulance Services.

Before Santa departs his visit, he makes sure that each child receives a personalized gift.
