Make The Season Bright

Each year, the Med Center Health Foundation proudly launches Make the Season Bright, a cherished tradition that brings warmth, joy, and hope to the communities we serve. This year’s celebration was especially meaningful as events were held across all six Med Center Health hospital locations: Scottsville, Franklin, Bowling Green, Albany, Horse Cave, and Russellville.

Community members gathered to enjoy hot cocoa, cookies, and the uplifting atmosphere that defines the holiday season. Families, friends, staff, and supporters came together to honor loved ones, celebrate the season, and support the programs and services that help make exceptional care possible year-round.

Each location welcomed a very special visitor, Santa Claus, who brought smiles to the faces of children and adults alike. In Franklin, Santa made an unforgettable arrival aboard a firetruck, delighting attendees and adding a touch of holiday magic. Bowling Green even enjoyed a surprise appearance by Big Red, who added spirit and energy to the celebration.

But Make the Season Bright is more than festive gatherings. Every light dedicated, every gift given, and every moment shared helps bring comfort and support to patients and families during the holidays and beyond. The glowing displays represent love, remembrance, and the power of community coming together to make a difference.

As we reflect on this season’s events, we are reminded that generosity shines brightest when shared. Thanks to the kindness of our supporters and the participation of our community, we truly are making the season bright – one light, one smile, and one act of compassion at a time.
