Creative Therapy Center and Healing Gardens

The Creative Therapy Center and Healing Gardens, is located on the 6th floor of the main hospital. There are multiple, outdoor, semi-private rooftop garden areas for patients and visitors to reflect and relax along with areas for family and small group events. The Gardens are accessible to patients in wheelchairs and visitors with disabilities who experience mobility impairments due to partial or total paralysis. Cut-outs to the perimeter wall have transformed into Windows to the City, viewable from a seated wheelchair vantage point. Patient physical, occupational and recreational rehabilitation goals are furthered through the creation of three-season therapy facilities.

Art Studio and Patient Art Galleries
Art Therapy Studio brings patients, family members, and other therapists together in ways that had not been possible before. We have two Art Therapy Galleries to showcase the beautiful art that our patients create. Art Therapy is part of our Clinical Outreach Program, and part of the healing process for patients. Individual patients, assisted by the art therapist, use all forms of art and the creative process of making art to improve and enhance their physical, mental and emotional well-being.

Healing Gardens and Greenhouse
What started as โ€œa healing gardenโ€ grew to five different healing gardens, all growing beautiful plants and flowers, with fun water features, changing the entire look of the outdoor space on the roof. In addition to the gardens, there are multiple raised, accessible planter beds that are tended to by Moss-Magee Horticulture Therapist. These new spaces complement the renovated Greenhouse built in 1994 that supports Horticultural Therapy provided to patients.

Three Seasons Therapy Area and Resource Center
The Three Seasons Therapy Area, with its glass garage doors, big screen TV, and fireplace, as well as the Patient Resource Center, with books, DVDโ€™s and computer access, are also providing more spaces for patients to enjoy sunlight, while getting away from the typical hospital room setting.

Segal Street
One of the most active places on the 6th floor rooftop has always been Segal Street, named after Moss-Mageeโ€™s longtime benefactor and former patient, Jerry Segal. Jerry helped create a city streetscape on the roof back in the 1990s so patients could experience real-life examples of what life after discharge would be like.
As a part of The Creative Therapy Center and Healing Gardens renovation, Segal Street received two new curb cuts, multiple new surfaces for patients to walk or wheel on, a new car, and a two-level ramp.

Spirituality Center and Meditation Garden
The Spirituality Center and Meditation Garden help bring solace and support to patients and family members. Worship Services are held in the 6th floor Spirituality and Support Center. Check the weekly calendar for location and times.
