Precious H.E.A.R.T.S to host remembrance service

For Immediate Release
(COLUMBUS, Neb.) – For families who have experienced the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, remembrance is an important step in the healing process. The Columbus Community Hospital Foundation invites community members to honor and remember those lives through the Precious H.E.A.R.T.S. Interfaith Memorial Service.

The event takes place at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 12, at Roselawn Cemetery, near the Precious H.E.A.R.T.S. memorial stone. The cemetery is located on the east side of Columbus on 23rd Street, directly west of Maximus Restaurant. Organizers ask that attendees bring their own lawn chairs for the outdoor service.

The Precious H.E.A.R.T.S. (Healing, Embracing, and Remembering Through Sharing) program was established by the Columbus Community Hospital Foundation and Auxiliary. Columbus Community Hospital and the foundation offer the memorial service to provide comfort and connection for families during difficult times.

A member of the Columbus clergy will conduct this nondenominational, bilingual service, which offers an opportunity for parents, extended family and friends to gather in a peaceful, compassionate setting. The service will last approximately one hour and will include messages of hope, spiritual reflection and moments of remembrance.

If there is bad weather, attendees can find updates on Columbus Community Hospital’s Facebook page, at columbushosp.org or by calling the maternal child health department at 402-562-3266.

For those who would like to learn more about the Precious H.E.A.R.T.S. program or support its mission, please contact the Columbus Community Hospital Foundation at 402-562-3377 or email foundation@columbushosp.org.
