Lourdes Serenity Garden Receives Civic Beautification Award

Lourdes Hospital’s Greenberg Serenity Garden is a recipient of the Paducah Civic Beautification Board’s 2011 Annual Business Award. Four businesses, including Lourdes, were selected for this honor for improvements in landscaping or structure.

The garden, named for long-time Lourdes Foundation donor Norman Greenberg, was constructed to provide a quiet, serene place for patients, their families and employees to visit for a moment of tranquility. The Greenberg Garden is located on the north corner of the hospital, near the Eckstein Cardiovascular Institute. Fragrant plants, flowering trees and comfortable seating areas create a serene and peaceful destination. The statue of St. Francis, an icon of Lourdes’ healing ministry, is also featured atop a stone fountain.

The Greenberg Serenity Garden is a beautiful addition to our facility,” said Ron Henley, director of facilities. “This project demonstrates that Lourdes is committed not only to healing people’s physical needs, but their spiritual needs as well.”
