Jefferson Health’s ‘Tree of Lights’ Raises Over 2k for Cancer Patients

Cherry Hill, NJ (November 25, 2025) —Jefferson Health’s 16th annual ‘Tree of Lights’ celebration at Jefferson Washington Township Hospital, and its first-ever ‘Tree of Lights’ event in Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital, honored the lives of those who have battled cancer while raising over $2,000 dollars for Jefferson’s Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center’s New Jersey Cancer Transportation Fund, which helps patients continue to receive vital treatments without the added burden of transportation costs. Annually, the fund provides approximately 2,500 rides to vital treatments.

Held on November 19 & 20, the ‘Tree of Lights’ ceremonies provided participants who made donations in advance to have the names of loved ones who have battled cancer read aloud while a tribute ornament was hung on the branches of each campuses’ Tree of Lights in their honor— a collective symbol of resilience and remembrance. The ‘Tree of Lights’ ceremonies also featured uplifting music and light refreshments as the trees are illuminated.

“Our ‘Tree of Lights’ events are beautiful reminders of how deeply we’re all connected — patients, families and caregivers alike,” said DeAnnette Stanton-Cross, BA, OPN-CG, Cancer Program Administrator. “At our advanced care hubs in Cherry Hill and Washington Township, we see every day how compassion and innovation come together to help patients heal. These events captured that same spirit.”

JIM NICHOLSON, AN EXTRADITIONARY MAN

Jim Nicholson was once presented with one of lifes great open questions: How would you describe yourself? He died on February 22, 2019.

For some people, that could be an invitation for ego-stroking, a chance to paint the most flattering, fascinating portrait their imaginations can conjure.

Mr. Nicholson answered with the verbal equivalent of a shrug. He was a simple man, he said, not terribly complicated. Nothing much to see here, in other words.

You could fill a phone book with all of the things he left out. Mr. Nicholson was an accomplished investigative journalist and a legendary obituary writer at the Philadelphia Daily News, where he spent 19 years celebrating the lives of men and women who were the true lifeblood of the city the cooks, carpenters, bus drivers and janitors whose stories often went untold.

How Professional Roof Cleaning Extends the Life of Your Roofing System

A roof is constantly exposed to the elements, collecting dirt, algae, moss, and debris throughout the year. While these issues may start small and go unnoticed, they can gradually weaken roofing materials and shorten the lifespan of your entire roof. Many homeowners underestimate the value of routine roof cleaning because the effects of buildup often develop slowly. However, consistent cleaning is one of the most effective ways to preserve the structural health, appearance, and durability of your roof. During this process, guidance from companies like AG Exterior Solutions helps ensure that cleaning is done safely and effectively.

Roof cleaning is more than just improving curb appeal. It removes contaminants that degrade materials and ensures that the surface can perform as intended. Over time, organic growth such as moss or algae can trap moisture, causing shingles to deteriorate or lift. This exposure opens pathways for water to infiltrate deeper layers of the roof. When cleaning becomes part of regular home maintenance, it supports long-term protection and helps avoid costly repairs. Understanding how roof cleaning contributes to overall roof health enables homeowners to make better choices for preserving their investment.

In addition to preventing damage, professional roof cleaning maintains the aesthetic value of the home. A clean roof enhances exterior appeal and creates a well-kept appearance that benefits both current enjoyment and potential resale value. Through proper maintenance techniques, homeowners can keep their roofs looking fresh while ensuring their structural components remain strong.

Why Quality Furnace Installation Sets the Foundation for Safe and Efficient Home Heating

Introduction

A dependable heating system is one of the most important elements of a comfortable home. When temperatures drop, homeowners rely on consistent warmth to support daily routines and protect the household from harsh outdoor conditions. This comfort begins long before the furnace is turned on for the first time. It begins with the precision and care involved in the installation itself, which sets the stage for how the system will perform in the years ahead.

Many homeowners assume that once a furnace is purchased, installation simply involves connecting the unit and powering it on. In reality, the process is far more technical. A modern heating system contains components that must be calibrated correctly, aligned precisely, and connected safely to ensure reliable performance. Even a small error can result in uneven heating, increased energy use, ongoing noise, or unexpected breakdowns. Because heating systems are complex, professional installation becomes essential for long-term success.

How Post Construction Cleaning Restores Your Home After Renovation

Introduction

Completing a renovation project is one of the most satisfying experiences for any homeowner. A refreshed layout, updated features, and renewed design bring new life to a living space. However, even the most successful construction work leaves behind dust, debris, and buildup that can make the home feel unfinished. The excitement of the transformation often fades temporarily when homeowners realize how much cleanup remains before the space is truly ready to enjoy.

Renovation dust settles into small crevices, lingers on surfaces, and affects air quality long after the construction crew leaves. Without proper cleaning, these residues can impact comfort and create frustration as homeowners try to move furnishings or return to everyday routines. The newly improved space deserves to shine, but lingering materials can dull the results and hide the beauty of the work completed. Thorough cleaning becomes essential in revealing the final look of the renovation.
