Christmas Stockings to Be Filled with Bundles of Joy at Baptist Health Louisville

December 24, 2020

Continuing with a 29-year tradition, new parents at Baptist Health Louisville will have a little something extra in their stockings this Christmas holiday.

Babies at the hospital on Christmas Eve will receive their very own Christmas stockings, along with special holiday hats hand knitted by volunteers. Some of the babies in the NICU already got the chance to model those new hats in the babies’ first photo shoot, and staff was on hand to do the “stocking stuffing.”

The stockings are purchased from funds raised by the hospital’s Auxiliary through gift shop sales and other fundraising activities. When the tradition first started 29 years ago, members of the Auxiliary made the stockings for the babies.
