We are thrilled to share Holiday Happenings at Sheridan Memorial Hospital (SMH) thanks to the tireless efforts of The Sheridan Memorial Hospital Auxiliary and Volunteers. These holiday events put on by our dedicated hospital volunteers are cherished traditions here at SMH and we look forward to celebrating with you this holiday season.
The Kozy Korner Gift Shop
Located just inside Sheridan Memorial Hospital’s main entrance, the Kozy Korner has something for everyone on your nice list. We invite our community to visit our hospital volunteers, walk through their Winter Wonderland, and find the holiday gifts, clothes, & decor you’ve been looking for! Visit us throughout the holiday season for new inventory and treasures that are arriving weekly. When you shop at the Kozy Korner, you’re not only buying a gift but also giving back. Volunteers who selflessly give their time and talents to run our gift shop donate all of the proceeds to The Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation to support hospital projects.

Trees of Love
The annual “Christmas Trees of Love” project allows community members to honor or memorialize loved ones by purchasing lights for the trees. Different colors of lights are chosen depending on who they honor. A white light memorializes a deceased loved one, a green light honors a relative or friend, and a red light honors a special child or pet. Lights can be reserved for a donation of $5 or more.
Along with having a symbolic light on the tree, volunteers send a card to the honoree or family of the memorialized, and their name(s) are inscribed in the “Book of Love,” which will be on display in the hospital lobby during the holidays. To dedicate a Tree of Love light or view the online Book of Love, visit sheridanhospital.org/treesoflove.
2024 Tree Lighting Ceremony
On Sunday, December 8, the Sheridan Memorial Hospital Auxiliary invites the community to join us for the Christmas Trees of Love open house from 4:30 to 5:00 PM. The Auxiliary will host the ceremony in the SMH Cafeteria Conference Rooms, where attendees can enjoy music, refreshments, and view the Book of Love. This year’s festivities will also include artwork from The Green House’s OMA (Opening Minds through Art) program, in which volunteers and elders from Green House create artwork together. The event will conclude with the lighting of the trees on the Sheridan Memorial Hospital lawn and our festive Santa Claus on top of the hospital roof.
Please make all donations by Wednesday, December 4, for acknowledgment at the lighting ceremony. Anything received after the Trees of Love ceremony will likely be acknowledged after January 1, 2025. Community members may call Development Coordinator Jasmine Slater at 307.675.2620 or visit sheridahospital.org for more information on the “Christmas Trees of Love” project.
