Ward and Campus Carols at SMH

A Night Filled With Joy and the Message of Being Born Again

Tonight the wards and campus of Scudder Memorial Hospital came alive with the sound of Christmas carols. Our teams walked through every corner of the hospital singing with warmth and joy, carrying the message of hope to our patients, their families and our staff on duty.

There was something deeply beautiful about seeing smiles appear on tired faces, hearing soft applause from patient beds and watching the gentle light of Christmas spread through every ward. For many who could not step out or be with their families this season, the carols brought comfort, peace and a sense of togetherness.

As the songs echoed through corridors and verandas, the theme of this year Born Again felt especially meaningful. The music reminded everyone that Christmas comes to heal, to renew and to bless every heart with new hope.

Our thanks to all who sang, walked, prayed and shared joy with such sincerity. The campus felt brighter because of you.

May these carols continue to bring peace to our hospital and may God’s presence rest upon every ward tonight.
