| Family, friends and loved ones are cherished joys of the Christmas
season. The Crete Area Health Care Foundation schedules a special time each
year to pause to remember and honor our loved ones. The first Sunday in
December each year is our annual Tree of Lights Celebration. This year's
event will be on December 2, 2007. During the celebration, we read
the names of those we are remembering during the holiday season. The festivities,
which begin at 5:00p.m., and are held at the Crete Area Medical Center at
2910 Betten Drive in Crete, include Christmas carols and refreshments. Prior
to the ceremony, we to invite you to a tea and Christmas program with stories
behind the Great Traditions of Christmas at Crete Area Medical Center at
3:30PM. Music will be provided by the Carolers from the Sacred Heart Catholic
Church. For a $20.00 donation to the Crete Area Health Care Foundation's
chapel/healing garden fund, you may have the name of your loved one(s) read
during the Tree of Lights ceremony and attend the program.
We recognize the loss of a loved one is a very private thing. With that thought
in mind, we have established a chapel/healing garden fund. All proceeds from
the Tree of Lights will be added to our chapel/healing garden fund.
Besides reading the names during the Tree of Lights Ceremony,
all names will be displayed on ornaments on a Christmas tree in our hospital
lobby, as well as in our chapel book. Ornaments may be picked up at the Medical
Center after January 1st.
