Buzz Lightyear, as well as Superman, The Flash and Spiderman, pay a special visit to the children at Lehigh Valley Reilly Children's Hospital, Cedar Crest Boulevard and Interstate 78, Allentown. “The superheroes were not able to visit the children inside the hospital this year due to ongoing COVID-19 safety protocols and higher than normal seasonal illnesses,” Brian Downs, public information officer, LVHN, said.

The Flash, Buzz Lightyear and Spiderman stand by the entrance of the hospital Nov. 17.

Superman watches as Flash and Spiderman wave to the children receiving care through the windows. In real life, these superheroes work for Southampton Window Cleaning & Janitorial Services, Inc. This is their third year paying a visit to the children's hospital.
