Healing Garden
MCG broke ground on the Betty Browning Tollison Reflection Garden May 12 to
create a site for reflection and meditation.
The garden honors the late wife of Dr. Joseph W. Tollison (left at podium),
Professor and Chair Emeritus in the Department of Family Medicine.
The half-acre garden, located off Harper Street near the Children’s Medical
Center, will include a reflection pool and benches.
“If this [garden] relieves the pain and suffering of just one person, even
in a small way, it is a worthwhile project,” said Dr. Tollison. “Betty was such
a giver and I know that she would be delighted with something that would
continue that legacy.
“She was always looking to make a difference in a very humble way,” said Dr.
Tollison, now the deputy executive director of the American Board of Family
Medicine. “She lived her life to reach out to others.” |
