Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Foundation's annual Love Lights program begins Dec. 1

The Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Foundation will mark the beginning of the holiday season on Friday, Dec. 1, with its annual Love Lights program.

The lights will illuminate the Central Garden at Elmhurst Hospital, 155 E. Brush Hill Road.

With a $25 donation, community members can dedicate a Love Light to recognize a caregiver, colleague, volunteer, physician or special person.

With a $35 contribution, donors will also receive a commemorative Love Lights ornament.

Each light symbolically commemorates a special person who has touched a life, or a loved one who has passed away.

The Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Foundation will feature the names of all Love Light honorees from donations received through Dec. 18 that will appear in the Dec. 28 issue of the Elmhurst Independent.
