Festival of Trees at Christus Mother Frances Hospital supports vital programs

TYLER, Texas — People will be walking in a winter wonderland when they step inside Christus Mother Frances Hospital right now.

There’s a Festival of Trees — not only to spread holiday joy, but also to raise money for vital programs. People can bid on these festive trees through Dec. 15. They were decorated and donated by hospital team members, plus people and businesses in the community.

It’s all to support the programs that the Christus Trinity Mother Frances Foundation — including the Children’s Miracle Network — fund throughout the hospital and health system. Visitors can view the trees online or in the entrance of the hospital.

“These trees have served as a beautiful reminder of the holiday spirit here in the hospital, because nobody wants to be in the hospital during the holidays.
