In coordination with Operations Management, Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center’s landscaping company donated rocks, time, and resources to create a garden in the outdoor courtyard area. When patients are near completion of their eating disorders treatment program, they select a rock, decorate it, and place it in this peaceful location for others to see.
“Patients look forward to this ritual—it reminds them to take pride in closing one door and opening another in their lives,” says Jennifer Campbell, LCSW, Senior Eating Disorders Therapist. “It’s meaningful for our patients to leave behind a message of hope for others.”
