Tree of Life

A Tree of Life is growing at Rush-Copley Medical Center. Located just outside the Glass Promenade Gift Shop, this Tree is a symbol of the sustenance and protection provided by the caring staff at Rush-Copley. The Tree of Life offers a distinctive and lasting way to celebrate the lives of those you cherish.
Donors who choose to place a leaf or a stone on the Tree of Life are supporting enhancements to hospital facilities and programs, as well as investing in Rush-Copley’s Promise to the community — to provide future generations access to advanced medicine with extraordinary care.
Your gift may:
- Serve as a memorial to someone dear to you
- Pay tribute to a special individual who has changed your life
- Honor a birthday, union, retirement or other occasion.
The branches of the Tree are full of unique legacy leaves. Each leaf can be purchased for $250 plus engraving fees. Anchoring the base of the Tree are foundation stones, which may be purchased for $500 each plus engraving fee. Both leaves and stones are designed to include a personalized message.
Donations may be restricted to the area of your choice or remain unrestricted for use in the area with the greatest need at Rush-Copley Medical Center.
