O'FALLON — HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Hospital colleagues are working to raise the spirits of patients hospitalized this holiday season. The hospital is inviting community members to help by sending a Christmas or holiday eCard. The process is simple, go to www.hshs.org/holidaygreetings, choose St. Elizabeth’s Hospital as the location to which you would like to send the eCard and write a festive or uplifting message. The eCards are printed out by spiritual care team members and placed on patient food trays.
