The Friends of The Moncton Hospital Foundation and Horizon Health Network have opened a rooftop garden aimed at enhancing patient wellness. Located on the third floor of the Moncton Hospital, the garden will be an area for patients who have been admitted to the Provincial Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Unit (PCAPU), Youth Wellness Unit (YWU) or Adult Psychiatry Unit. The garden will serve as an area patients can use for therapeutic, recreational and physical activities, and will be used as an area for group educational sessions, including wellness, relaxation and peer support groups. The Foundation provided $230,000 for garden construction, renovations, materials and labour.
