BrocktonPostBROCKTON--Good Samaritan Medical Center will dedicate a healing garden and celebrate cancer survivors in two special ceremonies on June 16.
The garden is designed to bring a sense of peace and calm and promote healing of the body, mind and spirit, officials said in a prepared statement.
The garden will be located in front of the Good Samaritan Radiation Oncology Center, 818 Oak St. on the campus of the medical center.
“Promoting a sense of well-being is an important part of treatment for our patients,” said Good Samaritan Medical Center President Jeff Liebman in the statement. “We hope this beautiful garden will bring many peaceful moments and a renewed sense of hope to our patients as they come and go from their medical appointments,” he said.
The garden was designed by Carol R. Johnson Associates of Boston. Contractors were Greenscape, Inc., of Taunton.
The healing garden ceremony will begin at 3:30 p.m. with the cancer survivors’ celebration set to follow at 4 p.m.
Lorna Brunelle, of Middleboro, a cancer survivor, author, vocal coach and owner of The Burt Wood School of Performing Arts will be the keynote speaker at the cancer survivors’ event, which will include an ice cream social.
Brunelle will be joined by area pageant winners including Molly Whalen, Miss Taunton 2011, who will serve as greeters.
