The hospital gift shop will offer a 20 percent discount on one item of clothing and accessories for attendees. Parking will be validated.

“The Tree of Lights ceremony is a great example of how Emerson Hospital offers premium care and personal touch,” said Sudbury resident Christine Schuster, president and CEO of Emerson Hospital. “The Tree of Lights offers a special way for our hospital community to come together during the holiday season and remember all the people we serve.”

Lights may be donated in memory of a loved one, in honor of a special person, or to celebrate a special event. All donations will benefit the Emerson Hospital Auxiliary. A list of donors and honorees will be displayed in the hospital lobby. Acknowledgement cards will be sent to all honorees.
