The community is invited to join Atrium Health Levine Children’s Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, for an annual holiday tradition, “A Night of Lights,” the lighting of the Children’s Tree and the debut of a new holiday feature.
Weather permitting, the tree lighting ceremony will take place outside the children’s hospital, located at 700 Spring Street in Macon, and is open to the community. In the event of rain or severe weather, the event will be held indoors.
The tree will be lit by a young patient who has received care at Atrium Health Levine Children’s. The St. Joseph’s Catholic School choir will perform.
“‘A Night of Lights’ is a beautiful tradition that celebrates our patients and their loved ones,” said Atrium Health Navicent Chief Nurse Executive Tracey Blalock. “This tree serves as a symbol of hope for our patients and the community throughout the holiday season.”
