Bernard A. Rosch
Palliative Care
TREE OF LIFE
The Tree of Life is a beautiful focal point in the Bernard A. Rosch Palliative Care suite at UPMC Altoona. Family members and friends can purchase leaves or stones to add to the display as a permanent memorial for a loved one.
The Tree of Life display is located in the Bernard A. Rosch Palliative Care suite’s living room area on UPMC Altoona’s 14th floor. There are three hand-sculpted brass wall reliefs called “Trees of Life.” Those wishing to leave a permanent memorial to a loved one may do so by making a donation to the Bernard A. Rosch Palliative Care suite. Memorials will be engraved on a leaf or stone and added to the Tree of Life display.
