The holiday season is a time of remembrance, and Great River Friends offers
an opportunity to help. Loved ones are remembered and honored each year
through its Love Tree program. Their names will be placed on donors’
choice of three trees at Great River Health. With donations of
$25 or more per person, name cards will be accompanied by ornaments.
Love Trees are in:
- Great River Hospice
- Great River Klein Center
- ·Great River Medical Center lobby
All Love Tree proceeds benefit Great River Friends’ Scholarship Program.
Each year, up to $10,000 is awarded to area residents pursuing health
care careers, which include high school seniors, current college students
and Southeastern Community College students.
A Love Tree Celebration Ceremony is scheduled at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 5,
in the Mercy Plaza lobby. Donors will be invited to celebrate their loved
ones through prayer, a special reading of the names, presentation of name
cards and ornaments, and refreshments.
Great River Friends is a community of donors and volunteers that supports
Great River Health with the gifts of time, talent and treasure.
