Celebrating 25 Years of Lights of Life

Date: 01/07/2026

Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center invites the community to celebrate and remember loved ones during the Lights of Life event this season. Lights of Life provides a way for individuals to honor loved ones by purchasing lights that will illuminate a tree all season long. The tree will be lit on Thursday, December 4 at 5:30 pm at Northern Light Cancer Care in Brewer.

A donation to Lights of Life highlights the care that has been a beacon of hope for so many Mainers since 1892. Each shining light helps fulfill the medical center’s mission of caring for patients, families, and the community.

We are pleased to dedicate the 2025 Lights of Life tree to the following individuals:
