Tree of Life

The Tree of Life memorial is dedicated to cancer warriors: those who have conquered it, those who have fought bravely but succumbed, and those who are on the frontlines helping in the fight.

Dedicated to the memory of Claire L. Robinson, this beautiful display embraces a sense of hope and remembrance by honoring loved ones who have engaged in the fight against cancer.

Located on the first floor of the Pavilion, the contemporary design of a forest of everlasting trees represents optimism for the future even amidst the difficulties of a cancer diagnosis. The leaves of the tree are available for inscription: six-inch platinum leaves for a donation of $500 or six-inch gold leaves for a donation of $250. Every metal leaf on The Tree of Life is inscribed with the name of the honored individual and a short message.

The personalized leaves may also be used to recognize physicians, nurses or other staff who made a difference in the fight against cancer. Gifts are often given in the hope of a speedy recovery or to recognize special milestones, such as birthdays.

All donations from this display are used to fund cancer initiatives including defraying transportation costs for patients; educational programs for patients and their families; financial help for immediate needs like drugs and durable medical goods; and other programs in Catawba Valley Medical Center’s Comprehensive Cancer Program.
