Santa Claus took time out of his busy schedule to talk with children at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. The hospital’s Child Life Program and Cisco Systems arranged for the connection between the North Pole and the Children’s Hospital. The children had a chance to pass along their wishes directly to Santa via a video monitor and Web-enabled camera during the event, which took place on Dec. 3.

In all, approximately 50 hospitals throughout North America will participate in the Cisco Santa Connection Program this holiday season.
