To encourage the actor to visit, the hospital compiled a video featuring children at the hospital, asking Johnson to swing by and bring a smile to their faces.
The video shows the enthusiasm and excitement of young patients eager to meet the former wrestler.
A visit from Johnson will have a significant impact on patients at the hospital who look up to him, a news release said.
The hospital urges the community to come together to help get Johnson’s attention by resharing the video online.
