MONTGOMERY – Daviess Community Hospital announces its 2nd Annual Festival of Trees, a festive event benefitting the Daviess Community Hospital Mobile Integrated Health program and the Daviess Community Hospital Perinatal Pathways program.
- Mobile Integrated Health Program: This program enhances community health by providing in-home care and health services, reducing hospital readmissions, and improving patient outcomes.
- Perinatal Pathways Program: Dedicated to supporting mothers and babies, this program ensures comprehensive prenatal and postnatal care, promoting healthier pregnancies and healthier starts for newborns.
This year’s festival will be held on Saturday, November 16, at the Montgomery Ruritan Club, 6907 Park Road, Montgomery, IN.
“A Festival of Trees showcases Christmas trees, each beautifully and uniquely decorated by various individuals, organizations, businesses, etc., that are auctioned off during an exciting night of community and holiday spirit,” said Carrie Shaw, chair of the Daviess Community Hospital Festival of Trees committee.
The theme for the event is “Winter Wonderland.” If you want to decorate and donate the decorated tree to the event, applications are accepted until Monday, September 16. Due to limited space, applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
