FEBRUARY 2016 Stars shine on Sky of Stars Baby Wall The whimsical scene of a starlit night sky was originally created at the old hospital to provide parents and families a way to commemorate the birth of their child or loved one. Individuals can purchase a star for this wall, engraved with their baby's name and birth date to "light up this magical sky". The proceeds from this fundraising program support the purchase of equipment for the Maternal Child Program.
