Ohio’s Hospice of Central Ohio invites the community to join in supporting its mission by making a donation and memorializing a loved one through its annual Light Up a Life annual fund campaign.

This is the culmination of its celebration of serving the central Ohio community for 40 years.  

Ohio’s Hospice of Central Ohio has enjoyed the support of the community since 1982. Its mission is to provide superior care and superior services to each patient and family it has been honored and privileged to serve. Gifts to the Light Up a Life annual fund campaign, now in its 33rd year, support patients and honor loved ones. The traditional Light Up a Life tree lights up with each new online donation. The campaign runs now through Dec. 31. 

"For 33 years, community members have supported the Ohio's Hospice of Central Ohio Light Up a Life annual fund campaign with generous donations," Stacy Geller, vice president of philanthropic development at the hospice, said. "Charitable gifts allow Ohio's Hospice of Central Ohio to offer services that provide comfort, dignity, and meaning to patients and families facing end-of-life illnesses."
