Tree of Life

The Louise Miller, RN, BSN Tree of Life

Through the Louise Miller, RN, BSN Tree of Life program, patients, families, and friends can honor loved ones, recognize caregivers, and celebrate hope, healing, and survivorship. Each personalized commemorative leaf is added to the beautiful Tree of Life installation at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell.

Prominently displayed in the lobby of the fifth-floor patient tower, the Tree of Life is a lasting reminder of the individuals whose lives have been touched by compassionate cancer care. Each engraved leaf offers a meaningful way to celebrate a cancer survivor, express gratitude to a caregiver or member of the care team, honor a loved one, or remember someone special. A Tree of Life tribute creates a legacy of appreciation and support for a family member, friend, cancer survivor, physician, nurse, or other caregiver.

Donors may participate at one of three giving levels: Small Leaf (3") for $250, Medium Leaf (3.5") for $500, or Large Leaf (4") for $1,000. Each Tree of Life gift helps support patient care and services provided through Capital Health’s Cancer Center.

By adding a leaf to the Tree of Life, you create a meaningful and enduring tribute while helping provide exceptional cancer care and support to patients and families in our community.
