Tree of Life lighting ceremony held at Mishawaka hospital

The Foundation of Saint Joseph Health System held a Tree of Life tree lighting ceremony Friday afternoon in the lobby of Saint Joseph Health System Mishawaka Medical Center.

Each ornament contains the name of a person the donor has chosen to honor.

The funds raised from the ornaments will benefit patients with a demonstrated financial need, according to the organization.

During the ceremony, the names of those honored were read off.

The tree will remain lit throughout the Christmas season.
