The Garden of Hope and Remembrance at Kettering Medical Center

The Garden of Hope and Remembrance at Kettering Medical Center The Garden, dedicated May 2013, is in memory of pregnancy and newborn losses at Kettering Medical Center. Therefore, all losses are represented in the garden.

It is a tranquil place where families and friends can remember, find hope and begin to heal after a pregnancy or newborn loss. Pregnancy loss can be devastating, no matter when it happens or the circumstances. Losses under 20 weeks gestation are memorialized with a small glass stone selected by the parents. The small stone reminds us that no matter how small, the loss is visible. The stone reflects light, adds beauty to the garden and symbolizes the memory of a dream that was lost. Losses over 20 weeks, whether through stillbirth or occurring shortly after birth, are memorialized with a brick paver. The pavers will be placed in a walkway that winds through the garden. A donor has made it possible for our families to obtain a paver at no cost. If you would like to request a paver, please send an email to gardenofhope@khnetwork.org

The garden is located in the front of the hospital on the basement level (level C2 of the parking garage) at the Cardiac Rehab entrance. The Memory Garden was made possible by a generous donation from:
Drs Todd and Annette (Bombrys) Boyd. Garden landscape and design provided by Scarffs Nursery
