Mission Hospital Light Up a Life Celebrates Loved Ones

More than $25,000 was raised at the Light Up a Life tree lighting ceremony to support Palliative and Hospice Care at Mission Hospital.

The 21st Annual Light Up a Life tree lighting celebration raised more than $25,000 in December. The funds will support hospice and palliative care services at Mission Hospital.

This beloved celebration invites family members and friends to place an ornament on the Mission Hospital Tree of Lights in honor or memory of a friend, loved one or caregiver. The event included beautiful harp music provided by the Orange County Harp Troupe, coordinated by Mission Hospital physician, Dr. Hitome Momose, and vocals by Mission Hospital nurses Marne Andersen and Stephanie Salgado.
