Calling all artists, creative-types and those just looking to show their support…

The St. Martha’s Regional Hospital Foundation has launched our Gratitude Garden Initiative. Community members are invited to paint rocks with fun and encouraging messages for hospital staff and physicians as a way to show their support and gratitude for what they are doing today, and everyday.

Once you’ve beautified a rock, you can head up to the hospital and place it in the Gratitude Garden. We want to fill the rock garden with color, warmth and positivity. Remember to respect social distancing when placing your rock and please do not enter the hospital with your rocks. The Garden is located just outside the main entrance of the Hospital, across from the meter parking.

Can’t make it up to St. Martha’s to place your rock? No problem. You can email us and we’ll make arrangements to pick up your rock. Just leave it in your driveway, mailbox or outside your door and we’ll pick it up and place it at the hospital.

Questions? You can email Amy at amy.carver@smrhfoundation.com or Sadie at Sadie.benoit@smrhfoundation.com

Let’s band together and really show our support and creativity. Everyone is invited to participate! For more photos of the beautiful garden, click here.
