Love Lights - Winter 2007

Sponsored by the Southwest Health Center Foundation, the 18th Annual Love Lights Ceremony was held simultaneously at both the Platteville and Cuba City facilities. Hundreds of people bought a light or a tree top to pay tribute to a friend or family member . . . or in memory of a loved one who has passed away. Many people throughout Southwest Wisconsin have incorporated the hospital's Love Lights program into their own holiday tradition.
