Garden of Hope and Courage
The Garden of Hope and Courage located on the downtown campus of the NCH Healthcare System, provides a place of peaceful reflections for patients, their families ad hospital staff that care for the sick on a daily basis. The Garden is a memorial for Jan Emfield who passed away from breast cancer in 1994; it is inspired by Jan’s great courage as well as all whose lives have been affected by this horrific disease. The garden allows those to draw comfort and support at a time when it is so desperately needed. Occupying approximately 2.5 acres on the downtown NCH campus, the garden serves as a living testimony to courage, compassion, hope and love.
