Westerly Hospital Auxiliary kicks off 37th annual Lights of Love campaign

Westerly, RI (December 7, 2021) – The Westerly Hospital Auxiliary has officially kicked off its 37th annual “Lights of Love” campaign which invites the community to remember or honor a loved one and to support Westerly hospital and the caregivers that touch the lives of thousands to provide hope, healing and recovery.

This year’s “Lights of Love” is dedicated in memory of Carol Desillier, a longtime member of the hospital community, who passed away on November 1, 2021. Desillier served as manager of the Hospital Gift Shop for 11 years, and for most of that time also served as president of the Westerly Hospital Auxiliary.

An outdoor lighting ceremony will take place on Sunday, December 19, 2021 at 4 pm at the Angel of Hope Garden on the hospital’s campus.
