For the first time since 2019, North Shore University Hospital (NSUH) in Manhasset hosted Winter Wonderland, a holiday celebration for employees, their families and community members.
Attendees to the day-long event on Dec. 15 enjoyed holiday treats, face painting, letters to Santa, a hot chocolate bar and cookie station, a meet and greet with Santa, Frosty and Mrs. Claus, and more.
“Winter Wonderland is a holiday tradition that we were excited to finally bring back after a three-year hiatus,” said Jon Sendach, executive director of North Shore University Hospital and deputy executive director for Northwell Health’s Central Region. “You really want to celebrate the season and do something fun for the community while rewarding our team members for all that they do.”
NSUH is home to the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital, the Katz Women’s Hospital, neurosurgery, multi-organ transplant services and one of the busiest emergency departments in the region. NSUH is a Magnet-recognized hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, which spotlights excellence in nursing. In 2023, CMS gave the hospital its highest 5-star rating while US News & World Report named the hospital No. 1 in New York State and top 22 nationally.
