In honor of International Women’s Day this week, we are highlighting the Spirit of Women Park. The Chlois G. Ingram Spirit of Women Park was designed by MKSK/OLIN to honor the lives of extraordinary women. The park space has been relocated and creatively re-imagined as a memorial park that honors the healing impact of women and Chlois’ legacy—“With a spirit of caring, compassion, and kindness, the nourishment she shared healed hearts and restored hope”—a quote prominently featured on the inscription on the park’s commemorative signage.?The park, anchored by a dramatic Donor Fountain, also includes a 175-foot-long crescent shaped reflecting pool which, features 1,515 glass tiles etched with donor supplied artwork from the former park’s ceramic tiles. The Donor Fountain is framed by sculpted landforms, bluestone paving, and native plantings to help create a reflective and compelling place for patients, visitors, and staff. A granite dedication monument frames glass panels honoring the park's namesake. Spirit of Women Park provides a place of respite and reflection for caregivers and staff, to reduce stress and improve their well-being. Settings like this new park have been proven to have a positive impact on patient healing.
