Family Garden at Willow Creek Women's Hospital

Written By Paul Nevill

The Foundation has partnered with Willow Creek Women's Hospital in Northwest Arkansas to fund a noise monitoring system in the NICU. We planned, funded, and installed a Family Garden for the families served at the facility. The garden comprises four sitting areas, a flower-picking garden for children, and an opportunity to have pavers engraved to honor loved ones. The garden also features a memorial sculpture, a fountain, and a prayer labyrinth. The Foundation has also committed to the garden's upkeep. We believe the garden has:

  • Provided a dedicated space for reflection and peace for families who have an infant with a long-term stay or a mother on bed rest.

  • Increased the opportunities for staff to find a place for a reprieve while caring for critical patients.

  • Served as a spiritual space for the patrons and staff.

  • Created a space to provide a Family Centered Care Program involving graduate parents, local churches as partners, and special events.
