Professional experienceLegacy Health System: Enhancing Wellbeing through Healing Gardens, Spiritual Care, and Cancer Healing
Healing Gardens and Horticultural Therapy:
At Legacy Health, we understand the importance of creating a healing environment for our patients, their families, and our staff. That is why we have Healing Gardens across our campuses. These gardens serve as therapeutic spaces, providing a peaceful setting for relaxation, reflection, and connecting with nature. Moreover, our gardens also act as gathering places for events and community walks, promoting physical activity and community engagement.
Spiritual Care and Additional Support:
We believe in the holistic care of our patients, recognizing that emotional and spiritual well-being are vital components of a person's healing process. To honor each person's spiritual journey, we provide chapels and healing gardens at each of our hospitals. Our dedicated team of professional chaplains is available 24/7 to offer emotional and spiritual support, regardless of religious affiliation. We understand the importance of prayer and provide a space for individuals to find solace, seek guidance, or simply find a moment of peace.
Cancer Healing Center: Living Beyond:
Dealing with cancer is a challenging journey that requires comprehensive care. Legacy Health is committed to supporting cancer patients throughout their healing process. Our Cancer Healing Center provides a range of care options tailored to meet the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of our patients. Our team of experienced healthcare professionals works closely with patients to provide personalized care plans, ensuring that they receive the support they need to live beyond cancer. We prioritize enhancing the quality of life for our patients, empowering them to thrive beyond their diagnosis.
Garden Research: Horticultural Therapy:
Innovation is at the core of our healthcare approach. At Legacy Health, we recognize the therapeutic benefits of horticulture, and we actively engage in garden research and horticultural therapy. One example is our therapeutic terrace garden near Legacy Emanuel Medical Center and the cardiovascular intensive care unit. This garden serves as a unique space that fosters healing, both for patients and our dedicated healthcare professionals. Through ongoing research and collaboration, we continue to unlock the potential of gardens in promoting well-being and enhancing patient outcomes.
Chapel at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center:
Legacy Emanuel Medical Center is proud to house a beautifully designed chapel that offers a sanctuary for spiritual solace and reflection. Our chapel is open to individuals of all faiths, welcoming everyone who seeks spiritual support during challenging times. Our professional chaplains are available round the clock, ready to offer compassionate guidance and support upon request. We understand the significant role that spirituality plays in the healing process, and we are committed to providing a caring and inclusive environment for all.
Together, Legacy Health System strives to create an environment that supports and uplifts our patients, their families, and our staff. Through Healing Gardens, spiritual care, cancer healing, horticultural therapy, and a dedicated chapel, we aim to enhance well-being and empower individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
