This year’s Lights of Remembrance “Cheer-ity” event took place Nov. 15 at 5:15 p.m. and welcomed in the holiday season with enter- tainment from Bolivar Intermediate School Bell Ringers and Singers in addition to recognizing three individuals with special awards including Hospice Light Award, Hospice Partner in Care Award, and the Sue McCoy Hospice Service Award. The Hospice Light Award is given to a person or business that has gone above and beyond to help provide excellent care to our hospice patients as a way of show- ing our appreciation for helping us do our job even better. The Hospice Partner in Care Award is given to someone in the CMH network that has helped and supported Hospice and our mission to provide the very best care to our patients. The Sue McCoy Hospice Service Award is voted on by the Hospice staff and given to a Hospice employee who has shown PRIDE, compassion and devotion to the Hospice field. The individual goes above and beyond, on a daily basis, so our patients and families receive nothing but the best care possible. This years recipi- ents were: Rose Roweton, Hospice Light Award; Chad Carrel, P.A., Hospice Partner in Care Award; and Sharron Kennedy, R.N., Sue McCoy Hospice Service Award. The purpose of the annual Lights of Remembrance “Cheer-ity” event is to honor the life of a loved one, support the Hospice philosophy of living life fully, comfortably and dying with dignity, and to involve the community in the support of Hospice care. Individuals can make dona- tions in honor of family and friends, or in memory of loved ones. The lights that decorated the tree are dedicated to those people who were honored or memori- alized. Giving to the Lights of Remem- brance program provides donations in our area to ensure that physical, emotional, spiritual and bereavement care is given to all terminally ill patients and their families. CMH Hospice caregivers strive to help patients remain as comfortable as pos- sible at home, or in a homelike setting, with family and friends. The program also provides support to the families after the death of a loved one through a bereave- ment program. For more information about CMH Hospice or to donate call 417-326-3585.
