Grief Support Group and Annual Hospital Memorial Service
Due to COVID-19 we are unable to offer any public type of gatherings, but hopefully we will be able to begin these services in the near future.
The Bonin Family Meditation Room
The Bonin Family Meditation Room (formerly the Sandra Bonin Anderson Chapel) has been renovated. It is a welcoming space to people of all faiths, beliefs, and spirituality. The renovation was made possible through the generous support of donors to the Augusta Health Foundation, including the Bonin Family, Martin Lightsey, and many Bonin family friends.
Donors were invited to a dedication on May 2. The beautiful, calming space will be a place of reflection, respite, and comfort for patients, families, visitors, and Augusta Health team members.
Please visit the Meditation Room when you need to find a moment of peace in your day or just to pause and reflect. It’s located on the 2nd floor of the main hospital, near the surgery waiting space.
