Excela Health is proud to be a Silver Sponsor for this event and invite everyone to join or support our team, led by team coach and heart survivor Nichole Sisson, Excela Health Heart Failure Clinical Pharmacist. Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people within our community and beyond live longer, healthier lives. Employees who donate $25 or more by November 14 will receive a commemorative Excela Heart Walk team t-shirt and qualify for a drawing of a gift certificate for dinner at Vallozzi’s Restaurant. Please ensure when registering that you use your Excela email and select your t-shirt size so that we can verify you as an employee and thus are eligible for the t-shirt and drawing.

Lights of Love Moves to a Virtual Event “In this challenging year of the pandemic, it has been difficult to look forward, as we slowed our pace of life and remained in our homes. Through it all we have become more keenly aware of the special people in our lives and the time we spend with them,” noted Nancy McKinnon, LAHAS president. “Remembering loved ones who have passed and honoring those with whom we still share our lives with a Lights of Love light is more important now than ever before.” Rather than forego this special fundraising event which honors and memorializes loved ones, LAHAS will celebrate virtually this year, and post both a pre-recorded ceremony and the donor recognition on Excela Health’s public website, www.excelahealth.org. The links become live at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 1, and will remain available through Jan. 8, 2021, for viewing. The suggested donation is $8.50 per name. Donations can be made through the online form using PayPal here, or a form can be printed, completed and mailed in with a check here. Lights of Love is one of many community outreach activities initiated by LAHAS, whose mission is to support the hospital and the communities it serves through education, fundraising and volunteer service.
