The SSM Health Ripon Community Hospital Auxiliary is sponsoring its 37th annual “Lights of Love” program, a living memorial or tribute to friends, relatives or dedicated citizens of the community. Proceeds from this year’s project will help fund the purchase of 12 mattress air pumps for patient beds to improve patient comfort while decreasing pressure wound risk. Lights of Love provides the opportunity for individuals, groups, or businesses to purchase lights in honor or memory of loved ones for a gift of $5 or more. The colored lights on the large holiday tree outside of Ripon Community Hospital shine in appreciation or recognition of a living friend, family member or employee, while white bulbs are in memory of a loved one. The names of these individuals will be listed in the Lights of Love book display in the hospital lobby and posted on ssmhealth.com/
While a tree lighting event will not be held this year, the tree will be lit on Thursday, December 12. Lights of Love brochures, including donation forms, are available at the hospital information desk and gift shop. For more information, call 920-740-7194.
