Main Street Art Exhibit

We are excited to present an art installation at the Main Street Art Gallery that expresses the sentiments of what is at the core of Tree of Lights: remembrance, light, hope and love.

Names of those acknowledged with a donation of a light or star will be displayed on the art wall.

The Friends of Emerson Health is celebrating our 100th anniversary as a volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing the patient experience at Emerson Health. Proceeds from Tree of Lights funds programs and initiatives in Pediatric and Adolescent Care such as:

Infant Sleep Sacks are given to each newborn leaving the hospital.
iCan Shine Bike Camp provides an opportunity for people with special needs to learn how to ride a bike.
Superhero Johnnies are given to our youngest surgical care patients so they can feel empowered when receiving medical care.
Coping Kits provide pediatric patients therapeutic tools to foster coping, resilience, and strength.
Being Boxes provide items to encourage positive interactions between parents and their baby during a stay in the Special Care Nursery. Items provided in the box help parents meaningfully engage with their babies through story, music, play and gentle touch.
Anchor Bags have a positive impact on Behavioral Health’s adolescent patients in the Emergency Department. The bags contain tools for relaxation, breathing, and creative expression and are designed to help teens feel grounded in the present while awaiting next steps in their mental health wellness journey.
