THE official opening of a new outdoor garden at the Stroke Medical Rehabilitation Unit at Letterkenny University Hospital took place on Wednesday.
The new facility has been part-funded by a former patient in the unit, Mary Bradley, who organised a number of special events which helped raise around €8,000 towards the project.
Mary wanted to give something back to the unit that helped rehabilitate her back to independence.
The funds helped create a beautiful outdoor space where patients can step away from the confines of the hospital ward and enjoy the benefits of fresh air, peace and tranquility.
The thoughtfully designed wheelchair accessible garden and seating area now provides comfort and solace to all who use it.
Pictured at the official opening were Debbie Hay (ADON) Paul Friel (Health Promotion) Liam McElhinney (HCA) Noel Cullen (CNM2) and the SMRU staff who helped create this beautiful garden. Missing from picture are Dr Miranda, Prof Mulpeter and Mary Bradley.
