GENESIS MEDICAL CENTER: Genesis Remembrance Tree Benefits Hospice Care

Cemetery

Genesis Medical Center recently issued the following announcement.

The holidays are a special time for family gatherings and remembering those who have passed. The Genesis Remembrance Tree in Davenport will celebrate the memories of loved ones and focus attention on the continuing need for access to quality hospice care in the region.

The Genesis Remembrance Tree in Davenport will be illuminated in a ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 14 starting at 6 p.m. in Bechtel Park at River Drive and Iowa Street. This will be the 15th annual lighting of the Remembrance Tree.

Musical entertainment will be provided by the Ellis Kell Winter Blues All-Stars.

Individual “light” sponsors are invited to make a donation of $10 or more in memory of loved ones. All proceeds will benefit Genesis Hospice Care.

Since 2010, Genesis Remembrance Trees have raised more than $92,000 for hospice care at Genesis. More than $8,000 has been raised already from the 2018 Remembrance Tree.

Genesis Hospice is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team to assist in managing symptoms, as well as enhancing quality of life. The common goal of all services is to provide the patient and family with comfort.

For information about how to honor the memory of a loved one, call (563) 421-6865 or go to www.genesishealth.com/tree.
