MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. — Santa visited Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital on Friday to deliver presents to children.
He was escorted to the hospital by the Maryland Heights Police Department. For the past 15 years, the department has raised money to purchase gifts for children at Ranken Jordan.
When Ranken Jordan expanded from a 34-bed hospital to a 60-bed hospital in 2018, the department recruited help from the Maryland Heights Fire Department so they could raise enough money to make sure every child would receive a gift.
