Resource Center 

Sometimes a little information makes a big difference. Our Resource Center makes getting health information free and easy. Located just inside the hospital’s main entrance, our Resource Center is open to everyone, and our conscientious volunteers are happy to help you find what you need. We also have computers, games and activities for both children and adults to use during hospital stays.

The Resource Center is open daily from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. and is staffed by our consciensious hospital volunteers. Call (608) 342-5037 or email library@southwesthealth.org.

As a patient or visitor, you have access to:

  • Computer terminals to start your medical research online
  • Medical and “self-help” materials (available for perusing in the Resource Center or for study at home)
  • Brochures
  • A variety of online medical resources
  • Up-to-Date; a software program that finds the most current articles on any health topic
  • Healthy links for adults and children on a variety of topics

Our children’s corner lets kids get away from the stress of the hospital experience. We supply:

  • Games and puzzles
  • Books (available to read in the Center or for loan)
  • Coloring books, crayons, Play-Doh and other activities to keep families busy.
