Abbotsford Regional Hospital has been decorated for the holidays.
The Trees of Caring features 12 Christmas trees in the atrium.
Dr. Lakhbir Jassal said the holiday season can be especially challenging for those in a hospital setting,
"Recognizing this, we wanted to create a comforting and uplifting environment to remind our patients in care that they are not alone during this time of year. Each tree has been thoughtfully decorated, embodying its own sparkle, which casts a warm glow throughout the hospital’s corridors," she said.
Jassal said each tree is "uniquely adorned to evoke warmth, wonder, and the true spirit of the season for our patients and their families who may be spending their holidays away from home."
She thanked all the individuals and organizations who donated decorations, funds and their time to the Trees of Caring.
"Whether you are a patient in care, a loved one, or a member of our staff, we hope that these trees bring a little extra cheer and remind everyone that even in challenging times, there is beauty, hope, and compassion all around us," she said.
