LOVELY TRIBUTE —One of the many beautiful snowflakes which are available at CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital in Sulphur Springs. Submitted photo
The Snowflake Campaign by the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation is now underway, to last through the first week of January 2023.
To date, several snowflakes are already alighting on the windows of the hospital lobby. The Foundation is in hopes of a white-out this year! If you are planning to make a donation or tribute in this year’s Snowflake campaign, please note that if the snowflake tribute gift is intended as a Christmas present, it is recommended that donations be sent soon in order for the acknowledgements to be mailed and received by Dec. 25, 2022.
The annual Snowflake Campaign allows friends and family members to be honored or memorialized by a donation to the HCHC Foundation. Once received, a snowflake bearing the name of the person being recognized is displayed on the windows in the lobby of CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs. An acknowledgement is then sent to the designated individual(s) to make them aware of the donation and tribute. The recommended donation for each person honored is $25 or more.
Recognition of individuals makes a meaningful Christmas gift, as well as makes a difference in the healthcare offerings of Hopkins County. Funds raised through the snowflake campaign will be used to help purchase new critical care beds for ICU, a portable X-Ray machine for the Mobile Athletic Training Unit, two new pieces of equipment for Inpatient Therapy, and to fund a new EMS interactive program to teach area students the risks of impaired driving.
Donations may be mailed to the Foundation or made online at the Foundation’s webpage.
Please include contact information for the donor as well as the individuals to whom an acknowledgment of the recognition should be sent. Additionally, the name(s) of the individual(s) can be added to the snowflakes if the gift is in honor of or memory of the individual. The Foundation’s webpage can be found by searching for the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation or by calling the office at 903-4384799.
