According to the Middlesex Health website it states, "The Middlesex Health Hospice Program invites you to donate in honor or in memory of anyone who has impacted your life. The 14-year tradition of the Tree of Lights is a heartfelt event to remember or honor loved ones with a tree lighting ceremony, and a display that stays prominent into the New Year."

According to Dolores Mazzotta of Middlesex Health she stated , "Your donation helps the Middlesex Health Hospice Program have a meaningful impact on hospice patients who face life-limiting illnesses and their families. Our program supports and assists patients and their families in making important decisions regarding their care and is focused on enhancing the patient's quality of life. The goal of hospice is to enable patients to remain in their own homes as long as possible with the aid of family, Hospice staff and volunteers. Donations received after November 14th will be listed on the website only."

The "Tree of Lights" names will also be displayed in the hospital lobby until January 2, 2024.
