Legacy videos

This article demonstrates the personal value of a legacy video for the 77 year old star of the video.  Both she and her daughter laughed and cried as they relived the memories depicted in the video.  I found this article (posted May 16, 2015) in the Meadville Tribune.  The photo shows Mildred “Mitzie” Addison (left) and Tonya Snyder of Hospice of Crawford County watching the legacy video that Addison made telling stories about her life.

The Legacy Program  was created to capture a patient’s life story, family history, lessons learned and any thoughts that the patient would like to convey to family, friends and generations to come.  It is a new free documentary video program offered to Hospice patients through the Meadville Medical Center Foundation and the Meadville Medical Center Auxiliary.  Watching herself on the big screen brings back memories and she smiles as she talks in detail about the stories in the video.
