Palmer Lutheran Hospital Donor Tree Leaf Wall

The Palmer Lutheran donor tree leaf wall is a warm and engaging donor recognition installation designed to enhance a healthcare waiting area while honoring generosity. A large, custom printed background mural depicts a flowing landscape and stylized tree canopy, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere for patients and visitors. The mural serves as a backdrop for hundreds of individually mounted donor leaves, each representing a unique gift and personal contribution.

The dimensional leaves are arranged to form the branches and movement of the tree, visually symbolizing growth, healing, and the collective impact of community support. A legend panel explains giving levels through leaf colors, allowing recognition to be both meaningful and easy to understand. The integration of artwork and donor names transforms the wall into a focal point that celebrates philanthropy without overwhelming the space.

Designed for longevity and future growth, the donor tree allows new leaves to be added over time, ensuring recognition can evolve as support continues. The result is a donor wall that blends storytelling, gratitude, and environmental design—honoring donors while reinforcing the mission and values of Palmer Lutheran in a thoughtful and enduring way.
