Santa will visit three Carondelet Health Network hospitals on Monday, December 21, 2009. The special mode of transportation is provided courtesy of Santa’s special helpers at Arizona LifeLine who convinced St. Nick to make this quick trip south just in time for the holiday! Here is Santa's arrival schedule: 9:30 a.m. – Santa Claus arrives by helicopter at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Children, families and the media can gather near the helipad to meet Santa for photos and treats. 11:00 a.m. – Santa Claus arrives by helicopter at Holy Cross Hospital in Nogales, Arizona. Children, families and the media can meet Santa near the helipad for photos and treats. 12:30 p.m. – Santa Claus arrives by helicopter at St. Mary’s Hospital. Children, families and the media will be asked to gather outside the hospital’s main entrance along the sidewalk. Santa will land on the roof top helipad and come downstairs to meet the children outside.   At each of these locations, Santa will walk through the hospital after visiting the children and deliver treats and holiday greetings to associates, volunteers and patients. Media is invited along during his visit. Important Note: Because of this year's visitor age restrictions at local hospitals (due to the H1N1 and seasonal flu outbreaks), Santa will visit with all the wonderful children under age 13 near the helipads upon his arrival. Children will not be able to follow Santa into the hospital as he visits associates and patients. Media interested in covering Santa’s arrival should contact Lisa Contreras, at 520-444-6600.
