Gibson Area Hospital & Health Services | Gibson gets it! | Fall/Winter 2019

Give the gift of love and light This holiday season, honor or remember special loved ones with a charitable gift to the Gibson Area Hospital Auxiliary. Your gift will be celebrated with the Love Lights a Tree holiday lights display and fundraiser Nov. 1 through Jan. 1. Each time $1,000 is received, an evergreen tree on the hospital grounds will be lit. Your generous gifts to the Love Lights a Tree campaign are used to purchase specialty equipment and support projects for enhanced patient care. You and your honorees will be recognized in the Gibson Gets It! newsletter. You will also receive cards to send to honorees or their family members to let them know their love shines on this holiday season. Thank you for brightening the holidays!

Eat well, maintain a healthy weight, get enough rest, don’t smoke, do what you can to stay safe and see your doctor regularly. Relish your leisure time. Do things you enjoy, and allow yourself some downtime. Too much stress can contribute to a host of health problems. Practice healthy ways to cope.
