He took some time out to visit patients, doctors and staff members at Grady Memorial Hospital over the weekend. Dr. Walter Ingram and Dr. Rachel Williams led him on a tour of the Grady Burn Center, and Holland brought toys to children spending the holidays in the hospital.

Before he left for a flight back to England, Holland dropped off platters of Chick-fil-A at the nurses' station.
