The Texas County Memorial Hospital Healthcare Foundation has launched its 10th year of “Celebrate Our Memories” in partnership with TCMH Hospice of Care.
A nine-foot Christmas tree stands in the hospital’s front lobby to hold ornaments that can be “gifted” and inscribed with the name or a message in honor or memory of someone special. Those who have “gifted” an ornament may keep it as a personal keepsake.
Sponsorship is $25 per ornament, and there is no limit. Ornaments can be gifted by groups or by individuals, and can honor a group or an individual.
Hospice of Care uses the funding it receives from the program to provide hospice care, supplies and equipment for patients and their families in Texas county and surrounding areas.
Anyone who wishes to gift an ornament can obtain a form by contacting TCMH Hospice of Care director Courtney Owens at 417-967-1279, visiting to the TCMH Auxiliary Gift Shop or logging onto www.tcmhfoundation.org.
All proceeds from the program will remain in the area, and any donation made to the TCMH Healthcare Foundation or to Hospice of Care is tax deductible.
