Staff hosts Halloween celebration at Children's Hospital: 'We want kids to be kids'
MILWAUKEE -- There were no tricks -- just treats on Wednesday, Oct. 31 for patients at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
Doctors, nurses and caretakers made sure children with life-threatening illnesses didn't have to miss out on the Halloween fun.
There was even a costume contest with prizes, but doctors said the biggest reward was watching the kids be kids.
"Our team went up to the cancer unit, where I happen to be one of the cancer doctors, and to see the kids having a good time and getting a good laugh out of their nurses and doctors, it's what we do. We want kids to be kids, even if they're sick," said Dr. David Margolis.
