Symbols and objects from a range of religious traditions are displayed in the small chapel that runs along a hallway. Natural light from a wall of windows on one side floods the space.
Brightly painted, comfortably furnished “Compassion Rooms” used for individual therapy sessions are located on each floor. A rooftop open air atrium provides a pleasant space for patients to appreciate the hospital’s beautiful collection of Bonsai plants.
