Honor a Caregiver

Many patients want to express gratitude for their care, whether their life was saved, or they felt especially reassured or comforted by someone at Beaufort Memorial. For these reasons, the BMH Foundation has established the Honor a Caregiver program.

By making a donation through this program, patients, families and co-workers can help the hospital recognize and continue nurturing our caregivers’ wonderful spirit of compassion while also providing extra resources for improved technologies and services. Each year, the Honor a Caregiver reception recognizes those who were honored as well as those who took the time to express their gratitude through this special donation to the Foundation.

The Caring Tree Blossoms

The tradition of the Caring Tree at Beaufort Memorial began in 1982 when long-time employee Meta Jones donated an evergreen to be planted in front of the hospital. For 27 years the tree was lit during the holiday season and people throughout the community purchased gifts of light to honor or remember loved ones or to honor a special caregiver. Mrs. Jones passed away in June of 2006.

Today, that same “Caring Tree” provides a warm, reassuring glow every evening of the year, brightening the entrance to the hospital. It invites us to reflect on the special people we have encountered at Beaufort Memorial and on the beacon of hope and compassion that our community hospital has come to represent.

The hospital foundation’s Honor a Caregiver program encourages those who want to convey their gratitude or good wishes to a caregiver at Beaufort Memorial to do so… any time of year. In addition, the BMH Foundation welcomes all tribute gifts to honor or remember friends or loved ones.
