The Angel Tree is up at SoutheastHEALTH Center of Stoddard County! Stop by and adopt an angel!
Each year, the nursing department at SoutheastHEALTH Center of Stoddard County sponsors the Angel Tree project.
Area nursing homes and residential care facilities are asked to submit a list of names (up to 10) and needs of residents that no longer have family around for Christmas.
SoutheastHEALTH Center employees and the community then have the opportunity to adopt these angels from the tree.
This year, they have over 90 angels on the tree located in the ICU nursing area.
They encourage you to get involved in this worthwhile project.
