9 Celebrity Hospital Visits That'll Make You Feel All Better

The healthiest trend of the year: celebs visiting hospitals, preferably in costume.

When there's an invisible man sleeping in your hospital bed, who ya gonna call?

Oh, come on. YOU KNOW WHO.

Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Melissa McCarthy -- who are currently filming "Ghostbusters" in Boston -- made a surprise appearance at Tufts Medical Center in full costume (including their proton packs, just in case any wayward spirits happened to be visiting at the same time.)

Although the Ghostbusters do have a secretary monitoring their call line, in this case they were summoned directly by some creative staff and patients, who posted flyers in the hospital's windows that read, "WHO YA GONNA CALL?"

Meanwhile, the appearance of the Ghostbusters at Tufts was just the latest example of Hollywood's finest taking time out of their schedules to do a hospital cameo (although it might have been the first time a celebrity team checked under the beds for ghosts.)

Below, we've rounded up some of the other heartwarming times that celebs have showed up for sick kids in the past year or so.

When Jennifer Lawrence took a Christmas trip to the ICU.
