Gardens/Gardens in Healthcare Facilities

California Pacific Medical Center
San Francisco, CA, USA

Labyrinth in courtyard entry.
" This 30-foot diameter installation is the same style labyrinth as is found in Grace Cathedral in San Francisco and at Chartres in France. The first such installation at a major medical center, the Labyrinth Garden was established in 1997 by the Institute for Health and Healing through the generosity of an anonymous donor."
From an article ("The Labyrinth: A Metaphoric Path to Health and Healing," by William B. Stewart, MD) on labyrinths on the San Francisco Medical Society's website. Click HERE to read the entire article.
