For more than 50 years Mary Health of the Sick has provided high-quality skilled nursing care to over 4,000 residents. Mary Health’s sacred mission to deliver the highest level of long-term care to deserving elderly in our community endures to this day.

Mary Health has been very blessed by the generosity and love of our many friends and benefactors. There are many ways you can help the Servants of Mary take care of the sick and the elderly.

OTHER WAYS TO HELP

• In Memorial and Honor Gifts

Often gifts are given to perpetuate the memory or to honor a beloved one. When you give a charitable gift as a memorial or tribute, Mary Health will send a card to the person or family you designate notifying them of your caring contribution. The amount you give is always confidential.

Mary Health of the Sick Garland of Prayers Annual Tradition is a beautiful opportunity to honor the people you love the most while supporting Mary Health. When enrolling your loved ones in our annual Christmas Garland of Prayers program, you select a gift giving level and with your donation you have many beautiful items to choose from. Your ornaments, garland or wreaths will decorate the hall of Mary Health. Prayers will be said by the Servants of Mary every night during the Advent and Christmas season for all of your honorees. Please watch for our Garland of Prayers mailing in November
