Honoring those who have touched our lives

As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the power of community, compassion, and the light we can bring into each other’s lives. As Chair of the Winona Health Board of Directors, I am honored to invite you to be part of the cherished tradition that brings light, hope, and healing to our community — The Trees of Light Campaign.

Each year, this campaign offers us a meaningful way to remember and appreciate our loved ones and those who have made a positive impact on our lives. When you give a gift to the Winona Health Foundation in honor or in memory of someone special in your life, your tribute will be acknowledged in the Winona Post each week during the holiday season in a listing of donors and tributes.

Winona Health’s mission is to inspire, recognize and empower the caregiver in all of us. Your contribution to the Trees of Life Campaign directly supports services that enhance the health and well-being of our friends, families, and neighbors.

I encourage you to join us in lighting up our community — one tribute, one memory, one act of kindness at a time. Together, we can make this season brighter for those that need it most.

To make a gift in memory or in honor of a loved one, visit winonahealth.org/treesoflight, or stop in and pick up a Trees of Light donation form at Winona Health, 855 Mankato Avenue.

Wishing you happiness and joy during this holiday season.

Dave Vaselaar Winona Health Board Chair
