Grateful PatientProgram
IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE
has ever been a patient at John D. Archbold
Memorial Hospital, you may have encountered a doctor, nurse, technician or vol-
unteer who brought you great comfort and reassurance in a time of need. Many
patients express their gratitude for their care through their kind words, smiles
and letters of thanks. Hearing the words “thank you” from a patient is more
meaningful to a caregiver than most people think.
Archbold Memorial Hospital’s Grateful Patient Program now provides patients
with another way to say “thank you” to a caregiver who may have made a differ-
ence in their lives. By honoring a caregiver who went the extra mile to care for
you or a loved one, you will be making a tangible and meaningful impact on our
ability to provide the absolute best in patient care to all who need it.
Gifts received through the Grateful Patient Program pay tribute to a care-
giver who has enriched your life while also helping to provide essential
resources for a healthier tomorrow—for you, your family and the communities
we serve.
When a gift is made, the person you are honoring will be sent an acknowledg-
ment letter expressing your thanks. The gift amount will be kept confidential, but
the feeling of accomplishment will be felt for years to come.

FOR THE 28TH YEAR,
our com-
munity will celebrate the spirit of the
season with the Archbold Foundation
Tree of Lights. For many in South
Georgia, it’s a tradition to honor and
remember friends and loved ones by
making contributions to the Archbold
Foundation. The Tree of Lights tradition
began 27 years
ago as part of
the effort to raise
funds for the first
Lewis Hall Singletary
Oncology Center. For the
past 18 years, contributions
have benefited Hospice of
Southwest Georgia.
Holiday decorations
throughout the hospi-
tal, including the live
tree that is displayed
in the hospital’s main
lobby, are provided
by the Archbold Memorial Hospital
Auxiliary. Donors, families and the com-
munity are invited to the lighting of the
tree, a ceremony that heralds the begin-
ning of the holiday season and offers
a celebration of life and remembrance
for attendees. A Hanukkah menorah will
also be lit to honor the tradition of the
season.
This year’s ceremony will take place
Monday, Dec. 7, at 6 p.m. in the lobby of
John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital.
Guests will enjoy refreshments and
special music, followed by the arrival
of Santa Claus. Gifts are acknowl-
edged and cards for the Tree of Lights
and Hanukkah are sent throughout
December. A donation of $10 per indi-
vidual honored is suggested, but gifts
of any size are welcome. Individuals
honored and family members of those
remembered receive a special card let-
ting them know a gift has been given.
