Cuyuna Regional Medical Center’s Home Health & Hospice department is now accepting memorial and honor gifts for the 37th annual Tree of Love fund-raising event for Hospice. The official tree lighting and dedication of the Hospice tree is scheduled for 3:45 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4, at Crosby’s Memorial Park.
Tree of Love is a special fundraiser memorializing and honoring loved ones that benefits CRMC Hospice. Memorials and gifts are used to make compassionate, end-of-life care available to people in the area who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, regardless of their ability to pay. Hospice involves a team approach to expert medical care, pain management, emotional and spiritual support. A vital part of hospice care is providing support to the family and loved ones of patients.
This year, the live Tree of Love evergreen will be located on the west side of Crosby Memorial Park, adjacent to Highway 210. At the ceremony which is part of Cuyuna Christmas on December 4, the Tree of Love will be illuminated with lights in memory or honor of loved ones and continue to shine throughout the holiday season.
The names of those being remembered will be displayed at the ceremony, near a smaller Tree of Love replica in CRMC’s Cornerstone Lounge and be published on cuyunamed.org.
Home Health & Hospice accepts donations all year and the Tree of Love accepts donations through the end of December. To make sure the names of loved ones are received in time for recognition, please send contributions before November 30.
