In keeping with the spirit of this season of giving, Columbia Jameson Suites, located at 7525 Two Notch Road, is kicking off its annual Holiday Hospital Hospitality Program. The program provides support to families in need of accommodations as they visit loved ones in hospitals over the holiday season.

"This is our way of giving back to our community," said Mike Deaton, general manager of the Jameson Suites in Columbia. "It's an opportunity to share the thing we do best - provide award- winning hospitality and customer service to the people who need it most."

The program began this year on December 1, 2008, and continues through January 1, 2009. Families visiting loved ones in the hospital get the first night free at Jameson Suites and up to five additional nights at half off the hotel's current best available rate. Guests who wish to take advantage of this offer should contact the hospital in which their loved one is staying in order to receive a referral from a hospital staff member.
