Each year, Northeast Georgia Medical Center ushers in the holiday season by lighting its Love Light tree. It’s a 43 year tradition that has expanded to NGMC’s three other North Georgia campuses.
This year, the hospital invites you to join them for the annual Love Light event on December 8 at 7 p.m. on Northeast Georgia Health System’s Facebook page. The event will demonstrate how Hospice of NGMC makes a difference for families and patients in the region.
The virtual event will feature patient stories, a candle-lighting remembrance ceremony and Love Light tree lightings in Barrow County, Braselton, Gainesville, and Lumpkin County.
“We are so grateful to our donors, whose generosity allows us to provide complementary services and resources to better care for the needs of our hospice patients and their families,” says Dr. Leena Dutta, medical director for Hospice of NGMC. “Love Light is a season of giving, and we hope our community will join us virtually in this celebration of love and remembrance.”
The event marks the beginning of the Love Light season, reminding the community to purchase a “love light” to honor the life and memory of a loved one.
Donations during Love Light season help ensure those nearing the end of life receive complementary services that allow them to live as fully and comfortably as possible, a hospital spokesperson says.
Donations made during the holiday season on behalf of someone will be followed by a card notifying that person or their family of the gift.
