A Hospital in a Park Gardens and healing Spaces
Recognizing that few things are deeper and more healing than our connection to the natural world, the hospital's stunning 56-acre campus offers gardens, walking trails, and gorgeous flowering trees outside patient windows. We invite patients, family members, and our broader community to explore our trails and draw on our landscape as a resource for rest and reflection.
