The Tree of Life |
|
| In Biblical times, the tree of life represented man's opportunity to
obtain immortality. Through the ages, it became a symbol of hope and
rejuvenation. Today, because of its seasonal growth and renewal, the tree
has come to symbolize preservation and regeneration of life - to which
Carolinas HealthCare System is dedicated. |
