Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum surprises children on Halloween at Boston Children’s Hospital

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum spent his Halloween at Boston Children’s Hospital, where he surprised patients dressed up in their costumes. Some of the costumes were so scary that they even startled the Celtics’ star.

The Boston Children’s Hospital has the world’s largest hospital-based pediatric research program. They provide pediatric specialties and subspecialties for infants, children, teens, and young adults up to 21 years old.
