As ABC News notes, it’s least the fifth time Lawrence has visited during the holiday season.

Last year, the actress donated $2 million to the hospital to establish the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. “My family and I have met so many wonderful children on our visits to the hospital. Their strength and courage is inspiring,” Lawrence said in a statement at the time.
