Gingerbread Village Lifts Holiday Spirts at Northwestern Medicine
More than 30 departments at Palos Hospital participated in a competition intricately constructing and decorating gingerbread houses.
A sweet team building exercise at Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital gave rise to a full neighborhood of gingerbread houses for all staff to enjoy this holiday season. More than 30 hospital departments participated in the competition intricately constructing and decorating houses, each with unique themes. For example, the "Healthy Nut House" is decorated with nuts and dried fruits. "Up Up and Away" features balloons made out of gumballs above a perfect replica of the house from the Pixar feature “Up”. The "It’s a Wonderful Life" house encourages viewers to find nine characters and iconic items from the classic holiday movie. The Palos Hospital leadership team and staff are voting on the houses and the winning departments will enjoy a pizza party.
