The HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital Foundation recently received a $3,000 donation from Dr. PDL and Chitra Nayak, and Effingham Urology for the hospital’s Healing Garden.  For their generosity, an engraved plate was placed on one of the benches in the Healing Garden. 

Donations to the Healing Garden are used to expand and grow the garden for the enjoyment of colleagues, Medical Staff, patients, and visitors. Dr. Nayak shared that he enjoys walking around the beautiful Healing Garden for peace in between his surgical procedures at the hospital. 

The Healing Garden at HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital was dedicated by the Foundation in May 2009.  Located between the Prairie Heart Institute at St. Anthony’s and the Chapel, The Healing Garden offers a place of peace and comfort for patients, visitors and hospital colleagues.  Please feel free to visit The Healing Garden anytime you are looking for a place of serenity and solitude.

For information about making a donation to the Healing Garden, visit the hospital’s web site at stanthonyshospital.org and click on “Make a Donation” at the bottom of the page, and “The Healing Garden” to download a paver form.  For more information about the HSHS St. Anthony’s Foundation, contact Michael Wall, Director of Philanthropy, at 217-347-1854 or  michael.wall@hshs.org.
