Santa makes cyber-stop at Penn State Children's Hospital

HERSHEY, Pa. — As Santa Claus works all month to oversee toy manufacturing and sleigh maintenance, he took some time out of his packed schedule to virtually visit with patients at Penn State Children’s Hospital on Dec. 7. The hospital’s Child Life Program and Cisco Systems arranged for the direct connection between the North Pole and the Children’s Hospital, which allowed children to tell Santa what’s on their wish lists via video monitor with a web-enabled camera. The visit included some room-to-room visits that allowed patients to talk with Santa on an iPad.
