Fountain Valley Regional Hospital’s 17th annual Pediatric Halloween celebration gave pediatric patients, some of whom spend up to eight months in the hospital, a chance to experience the happiness of Halloween on Tuesday.
Costumed staff, local firefighters and law enforcement and several community organizations passed out candy and other treats to the children who were also in costume.
