Mayo Clinic Health System’s hospice program invites area residents to the Set Memories Aglow tree-lighting ceremony at 5 p.m. Dec. 2 on the medical center’s front drive, 404 W. Fountain St.

The tree will remain lit through the holiday season.

Monetary donations toward a light on the special hospice tree in memory of a loved one, friend or for someone living you wish to honor are still being accepted. Donation forms are available by calling the hospice program at 377-6393.

Hospice provides support and care for people in the last phases of terminal illness so they might live as fully and comfortably as possible.
