Healing Environment
Research shows that music, humor, art and relaxation techniques promote health and well-being. The Healing Environment program complements medical treatment by alleviating symptoms through entertainment, music, massage and aesthetically pleasing sights and sounds. The program offers video and audiotapes, clowns, music performances, stress reduction therapy, a 24-hour relaxation TV channel, patient education brochures, art cart, aromatherapy, aquariums and murals to more than 3,200 patients each month. Many people find the smell of lavender relaxing. If you would like, please feel free to ask a member of our the Pastoral Care staff to place a drop of lavender essential oil on your pillow.
