Greater Family Health, in partnership with Northwest Community Hospital, now part of Endeavor Health, spread Christmas cheer at Greater Family Health centers in Wheeling and Palatine last week with a festive Winter Wonderland event where children immersed themselves in engaging holiday activities. From lively rounds of Christmas Bingo and enchanting reading time to creative ornament decorating and even a press-on tattoo station. The joyous sound of children laughing filled the air as little ones – and their parents – got to explore both Health Centers.
After participating in these activities and indulging in milk and cookies, the children and their families were invited to take a picture with none other than Santa Claus himself, where his elves (supported by Greater Family Health and Endeavor Health staff) gifted each child with at least one wrapped present based on their age and gender. These gifts, generously donated by Endeavor Health, reflected their dedication to spreading joy and embodying the true essence of the holiday season.
This event not only celebrated the festive season but also marked Greater Family Health and Endeavor Health’s commitment to Wheeling, Palatine, and the rest of the Northwest Suburbs. The Greater Family Health centers became a hub of joy, fostering connections and showcasing their dedication to holistic and collaborative community care. Greater Family Health hopes to continue this yearly tradition along with Endeavor Health that began over six years ago, bringing holiday cheer to these communities for years to come.
