Pediatric patients get Christmas trees at TriStar Centennial

Posted

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — For the first time TriStar Centennial Children's Hospital was part of a donation initiative called Helping Hands. It is done by J + J Flooring and has happened in Nashville the past few years.

The initiative provides decorated trees to patients. The trees are decorated by different designers and range in theme. This happens in 11 different cities.

According to an official with TriStar Centennial, there were 40 trees and any pediatric patient there the day they were delivered got one.

Any leftover trees would go to new patients admitted.

We followed George West as he picked out his tree. He was in the hospital for emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix.

You can see what tree he picked in the video above.

Wilson County Rotary Clubs donate 100,000th book to local schools

It takes a village! Hats off to the Wilson County Rotary clubs for investing in our kids in such a tangible way. Putting 100,000 books in the hands of little learners is something to celebrate. I love that they store the books in a bank vault — they truly are priceless!
