Many believe that when a cardinal appears, an angel is near. The name of our practice, CardinaLight, was born with this thought in mind. Sharon’s father left behind a legacy that is filled with love, faith, and purpose, and we wanted to honor this in an endeavor we know that he would have completely supported. Our practice logo is representative of Sharon and her father in a brakeman’s lantern, a lantern her paternal grandfather used throughout his career, and a lantern that was present in Sharon’s home her entire childhood. CardinaLight Health and Wellness is a medical practice that embodies that love, faith, and purpose.
