Ray of sunshine for mental health patients at Victoria Hospital

Jul 22, 2015 | 5:17 PM

A brand new courtyard is brightening the day for mental health patients at Victoria Hospital.

The recently upgraded and renovated courtyard located in the mental health unit was revealed today with a celebratory BBQ.

Fully equipped with lawn furniture, a garden, and a jumbo checkers set, patients will be able to enjoy the outdoors while summer lasts.

“Patients love to come out here,” recreation therapist Randi LaMotte said. “It’s just a place for them to just let out some stress and relax. Maybe have some connections with other patients and staff members.”
