Chapel Beautification Project

The chapel beautification project was designed to create a more tranquil and spiritual environment for our veterans.

Hospice Healing Garden

The VA Hospice Program is an eight-bed Unit located on the Nursing Skilled Care Unit (NSCU) at the Vancouver Division.

The Hospice Healing Garden will cost about $21,000.00. It is designed with wide paths to accommodate wheel chairs and hospital beds and many of the features will trigger the senses, such as tranquil sounds of water and wind chimes and the soothing scents of lavender and mint.

To contribute to the garden you can email anne.murphy@va.gov
