Brick Campaign
The Lewis County Hospital Foundation is conducting an ongoing Memorial and Honorary Brick Campaign at Lewis County General Hospital. The bricks are installed at the main entrance of the Hospital. The Hospital Foundation invites community members to purchase a commemorative brick to remember a loved one, honor a friend, thank a member of the medical staff or engrave your own name or your family’s name on a brick to show your appreciation for our community Hospital.
If you would like to order a brick, please download the order form below.
