Partners of Crossing Rivers Health
In August of 1955, a small group of women interested in helping the Prairie du Chien community build a new hospital gathered together for the following purposes: “To promote a closer bond of understanding and friendly cooperation between the community and hospital; to give extra comforts and cheer to patients; and to aid the administration through volunteer services.”
