Kettering Health Network is celebrating the holiday season with lighting displays at many hospital campuses. The health system’s wish is that these “lights of love” bring hope, warmth and comfort to patients and their families.

A grand lighting kickoff event will be held at Kettering Medical Center, 3535 Southern Blvd. on Sunday, November 25 at 6:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend to come and enjoy caroling, a holiday band, cookies and cocoa, a live nativity and a special appearance by Santa. The holiday lights will be turned on at 6:30p.

“Being in the hospital is stressful for patients and their loved ones, especially during the holidays,” says Fred Manchur, CEO of Kettering Health Network. This lighting display helps add to our hospitals’ “healing environment” by bringing an element of the holiday season to our patients and to all who visit our hospitals.”

Tree lighting ceremonies will take place at the following Kettering Health Network locations at 6:00 p.m.:
