For all the ways Mom says "I love you"
Happy Mother's Day!

Forrest General Hosts Flag Dedication in Honor of National Donate Life Month
As a 13-month old, Brooke Miley Lillie was diagnosed with a rare heart condition, and the only cure was a heart transplant. After five weeks of being on the waiting list for a new heart, they got a call that changed Brooke’s life forever!
Brooke was the guest speaker at the MORA flag dedication hosted by Forrest General on April 22nd. The event honored donors and recognized the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation during National Donate Life Month.
