Halloween with Heart: Tournament of Roses’ Rose Court Celebrates with Huntington Hospital

On October 31, the Tournament of Roses’ 137th Rose Court brought Halloween magic to Huntington Health, delighting pediatric and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients and their families with a festive visit.

Dressed in festive costumes, the Rose Court members “trick-or-treated” through the hospital, spreading joy and smiles to children, families, and staff alike. The visit included arts and crafts with pediatric patients and a special tour of Huntington’s Level III B NICU, where the court learned about the hospital’s specialized care for premature and medically fragile newborns.

“We are honored to welcome the Tournament of Roses Rose Court each year,” said Wafaa Alrashid, MD, chief of medical staff at Huntington Health. “Their visit brings light and laughter to our youngest patients and their families. It’s an annual tradition our staff looks forward to every year.”

In addition to connecting with patients, the court shared stories of their experiences representing the Tournament of Roses, inspiring staff and families with their grace and community spirit.

The entire Huntington Health family looks forward to cheering on the Court during the 2026 Rose Parade on New Year’s Day.
