Stony Brook Southampton Hospital asked children to send them their artwork to cheer patients and staff, and boy did the kids deliver.

In a YouTube video titled "My Happy Place on the East End," the hospital shows the colorful and creative artwork it received in response to its query. The video has received dozens of responses on social media.

"Once the no-visitor policy took place, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital invited local children to send their art as part of a virtual exhibition to help bring a smile to patients and healthcare workers," the hospital said on Facebook.
