Give the gift that will light up the season!

Love Lights is the Foundation’s heartfelt holiday giving program dedicated to uplifting patients facing financial challenges who are being served by Hamilton Home Health and Hospice and Peeples Cancer Institute at Hamilton Medical Center. Love Light gifts serve as a beacon of hope as they allow the Foundation to assist Hamilton patients who lack resources to afford transportation, medicine, dental work, or even basic life necessities.

Love Lights can be purchased in honor or memory of friends, neighbors, loved ones, and even your cherished pets! As each Love Light gift is received the Foundation will send an acknowledgement card to to those being honored or to the family of those being remembered. The names being honored or remembered, as well as those who give the gift of Love Lights, will shine brightly in the weekend editions of the Dalton Daily Citizen throughout the holiday season.

The Dalton Daily Citizen will list Love Light gifts in its weekend editions throughout the holiday season.
All donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Thanks to our amazing community and a generous donation from the White Family Foundation, over $52,125 was raised in 2023 to assist patients and families facing financial uncertainty who are served by Peeples Cancer Institute and Hamilton Home Health and Hospice!

The Love Lights Holiday Giving tradition at Hamilton Medical Center began in 1982, when Foundation board member Hubert Marsh along with fellow Foundation Trustee, Dot Reich, collaborated on the idea to create a year-end holiday giving program that would serve to enhance patient care programs at Hamilton while offering community members the opportunity to purchase lights in honor or in memory of friends and loved ones.  To promote the Love Lights program community-wide, Mrs. Reich pitched the idea of a partnership between the Whitfield Healthcare Foundation and the Daily Citizen to then-editor Neely Young. In just the past ten years, over $300, 000 has been raised to assist patients and families facing financial difficulties and allowing them to focus on healing.
