Virtua Memorial in Mount Holly opened its new Healing Garden on Sept. 17. The garden, located in the hospital’s central courtyard, provides a quiet, tranquil place for peaceful meditation for patients, visitors and staff.

The public was invited to visit the new garden during a grand opening from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. on Sept. 17.

Designed with three spirals to represent the three generations served by Virtua Memorial, senses are triggered by falling water, colorful flowers and fragrant foliage. Donations from Virtua Memorial’s Auxiliary Board, the Virtua Foundation, employees and physicians made the garden possible.

Virtua has distinguished itself as one of the first Six Sigma organizations in healthcare, as an early adopter of clinical and digital technologies, and for its innovative partnerships with nationally renowned organizations such as GE Healthcare, Fox Chase Cancer Center and A.I. duPont Hospital for Children.

It has been honored twice with the New Jersey Governor’s award for Clinical Excellence and recognized with the Leadership Award for Outstanding Achievement by Voluntary Hospitals of America.

Virtua has been honored as the #1 Best Employer in the Delaware Valley by the Philadelphia Business Journal and is the recipient of the Consumer Choice Awards by National Research Corporation. For more information, visit our website at www.virtua.org or call 1-888-VIRTUA-3 (1-888-847-8823)
