Those wishing to purchase an angel may do so by submitting a donation of five dollars or more for each name being honored or remembered, and a completed Tree of Light form to the marketing office at Tyrone Hospital.<br \/>\nIn addition to the interior trees, a lighted tree will be located in front of the hospital. The tree will be illuminated in a ceremony to be held at the hospital on Monday, December 1 at 6 p.m. with a reception to follow. The ceremony will include vocal selections performed by St. Matthew\u2019s School choir and a spiritual message delivered by Reverend Norman Huff. Brief comments will also be made by hospital leaders.<br \/>\nAll proceeds from the Tree of Light will be used to help pay for renovations to portions of Tyrone Hospital\u2019s emergency department and the patient registration area. The planned changes will create greater patient privacy in both areas and also increase security in the emergency department.<br \/>\nRandy Miles, Sr., Chairman of the Tyrone Hospital Development Council, said the Tree of Light is one way people can support Tyrone Hospital.  \u201cThe Tree of Light is to remind us of those we love and remember.
