	You are cordially invited to the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Slidell Memorial Hospital Atrium Sponsored by The Hospice Foundation of the South to celebrate the memory of our special people through the annual tradition of the Tree of Angels. There is perhaps no lovelier way to remember or honor someone special during the holiday season than through helping those in need. You, your family, and friends are cordially invited to attend the official Tree Lighting Ceremony on Tuesday, December 6, 2011, from 7:00 to 8:00 pm at the Slidell Memorial Hospital Atrium. Refreshments will follow. If you would like to purchase an angel in honor or memory of someone special, please call us at 985.643.5470 or click on this link to get the form.
	The non-profit Foundation is comprised of board members who volunteer their time, expertise and talents to carry out our Mission. One salaried employee and a number of volunteers support the Foundation Board.
	We support hospices in providing financial assistance for any patient in financial need during this difficult time. We may buy food, pay for utilities and/or other items needed by families.
	In addition to assisting indigent hospice patients, our long-range goal is to construct a hospice residence for St. Tammany Parish for patients who have no caregivers or who do not want to be hospitalized, but cannot be cared for at home.
	Hospice patients have been given diagnoses of terminal illnesses with generally less than a year to live. The patients can usually remain at home among loved ones. Caregivers are supported by hospice nurses and assistants, social workers, chaplains and volunteers. Thus, pain management and comfort enable patients to keep their dignity and independence.
