Everyone is getting in the Halloween spirit, including Baptist Health System staff members.
This year, the North Central Baptist Hospital in Stone Oak and Northeast Baptist Hospital put their carving skills to the test to compete in their annual pumpkin decorating contests.
Here are this year’s winners at Northeast Baptist Hospital:
First Place: Respiratory Therapy Department- The department created a pumpkin hooked up to a ventilator, which shows the pumpkins lung’s breathing air.

Second Place: Intensive Care Unit- The ICU created a spooky scene with a pumpkin monster operating on his pumpkin patient. You can see the pumpkin patient cut open and his “guts,” or seeds, splattered around the table.

Other themes in the contest included Dia de Los Muertos, Creepy Crawlers, Bats, Lady in Labor, Sesame Street and more.
Radiology Department Manager at Northeast Baptist Hospital Brady Dennis said the contest was “much-needed fun” after the challenges with COVID-19.
“We love our patients and this really helps us to have fun and give back to our patients and their families when work can be so serious,” Dennis said.
The pumpkins will be on display in the lobby of the hospital this weekend for patients and staff to enjoy.
