Tree of Lights Tradition to Endure at Thompson

While COVID-19 restrictions will prevent a public tree-lighting ceremony this year, the Thompson Health Guild is determined to make sure the pandemic does not disrupt one of its most treasured traditions.

This holiday season, the guild’s Tree of Lights will once again be featured prominently in front of UR Medicine Thompson Health’s skilled-nursing facility, the M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center on Parrish Street in Canandaigua.

Each year, community members may sponsor lights on the tree, in memory of or in honor of loved ones. Proceeds benefit the programs and initiatives funded by the guild, which is Thompson’s auxiliary and which had to cancel many of its fundraising events this year.

Lights are a minimum donation of $5 each. Written acknowledgments are sent to those honored or to the families of those memorialized. To sponsor a light, visit www.ThompsonHealth.com/Tree. For more information, call (585) 396-6155.

Canandaigua Urgent Care Announces Holiday Hours
