SALT LAKE CITY — Over 750 Halloween costumes have been donated by Joyce University of Nursing and Health Science to help kids feel the holiday spirit for their fifth consecutive year Wednesday.
This year's donations include 765 costumes, 200 trick-or-treat buckets, 150 Halloween room decoration kits, 200 pounds of candy and over 500 prizes.
The donated items come from donation stations across the university's campus. According to Joyce University President and CEO Dr. John Smith-Coppes, the idea of being able to celebrate the holidays even at the hospital is part of quality healthcare.
“As a team consisting of and supporting nurses and nursing students, we know that quality healthcare includes so much more than just medical care," he said. "Sometimes it simply and profoundly just includes creating a space for joy."
