Tree of Lights

We are honored that the Guild at Portsmouth Regional Hospital selected The Birchtree Center as the beneficiary of its Tree of Lights this December.

On the evening of December 3, we gathered in front of the hospital to illuminate a tree and celebrate the individuals who have made a positive impact on the world. Members of the public made donations to The Birchtree Center in memory or in honor of a loved one.

Thank you to the hospital’s Guild; the hospital’s trustees, medical staff, and administration; and the singers from Portsmouth Pro Musica, the officers from the Portsmouth Police Department, and the other hardy souls who attended the event in spite of the snow! Foster's Daily Democrat covered the event; to see the article, click here.

Please know that the warm wishes of our board, staff, and families are with all the Tree of Light participants this holiday season.
