December is always such a fun time at LVH.

Animals play many roles… Read More
Have you noticed the beautiful landscaping surrounding our hospital this spring, summer, and autumn? We are so fortunate to have a naturally gifted gardener on our staff, Lorraine James. Lorraine takes great pride in her work and it sure brings a smile to all of our faces to see a bounty of blooming colors when we pull into the hospital parking lot each morning. Before the first frosty nights of fall strip… Read More
